Ingredients:

  • 2 cups blackberries
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions:

  1. Place the blackberries, sugar, and lemon juice into the saucepan. Stir gently over medium heat until the sugar has completely dissolved into the berry juices.
  2. Reduce heat to medium-low. Let the mixture simmer for 8–12 minutes until the liquid shifts to a glossy, mahogany-colored syrup that coats the back of your spoon.
  3. Remove the pan from the heat immediately. Stir in the vanilla extract and the pinch of salt. Let it cool for 5 minutes to allow the thickness to fully set.
