Fresh Blackberries and Ice Cream

We picked up some absolutely fantastic, fresh-picked blackberries at the farmer's market last Saturday. We made a blackberry sauce and had it over double-vanilla ice cream.


The sauce is easy to make! Summer at its best!

It's up to you whether you want to strain out the seeds from the sauce. The seeds in the berries we bought were not tough, so we kept them in.

Ingredients:

• 1 pint fresh blackberries, rinsed
• 1/4 cup sugar
• Ice cream

1. Place berries (reserving a few for garnish) in a sauce pan with the sugar. Heat over medium heat until the berries boil and soften. Using a fork, squish the berries against the bottom of the pan to release their juices. Continue cooking until a thick sauce is produced. Remove from heat.

2. Optionally, strain the sauce at this point to remove the seeds.

3. Serve over ice cream and garnish with remaining berries.
