Whether you wanna use it as a cake filling, pie filling, or as an ice cream topper this simple, easy recipe for blackberry filling is a great way to make many different desserts and takes no more than five minutes to prepare with fresh or frozen blackberries.
Ingredients
7oz(200grams)Blackberries
½cup(120ml)White Sugar
1tbspCornstarch
1tspLemon Juice
⅓cup(80ml)Water (see notes below)
¼tspSalt
Instructions
In a saucepan, over medium heat, add the blackberries, sugar, salt, lemon juice, and 1/4 cup of water. Cook on low to medium heat until all the sugar has dissolved. Use a vegetable masher to mash some of the fruit. Pro tip - Mashing will add a nice thicker consistency to the topping but make sure to leave some blackberries whole.
7 oz Blackberries, ½ cup White Sugar, ¼ tsp Salt, 1 tsp Lemon Juice
Combine the remaining water with cornstarch. Add it to the blackberries. Continue to cook on low heat until the filling is thick and glossy. Remove and let cool for a while. Pro tip - Cornstarch can settle to the bottom of the water. So, you must stir it just before adding it to the saucepan.
1 tbsp Cornstarch , ⅓ cup Water
At this point, you can strain the seeds by simply pouring the filling thru a sieve. Or leave it fruity and chunky just as I have here.
Remove and pour into a mason jar. Let cool completely or use as directed in your recipe.Pro tip - The filling will thicken as it cools so keep that in mind when you take it off the heat.
