Easy Homemade Blackberry Sauce is the delicious over pancakes or ice cream! It’s like eating blackberry pie for breakfast!
I’ve expressed my love of the Pacific Northwest and it’s amazing summer berries a lot here at Real Housemoms, but I’m gonna do it again! They’re EVERYWHERE!!! So with that being said, I have to use them while they’re here. I just love that I can walk right around the corner from my house and they’re growing like weeds, beautiful, delicious weeds. My youngest little guy was with me this last time and I think he thought Mom went crazy. I was just picking berries from the side of the road. I had to explain that they were the same as the berries they were selling in the grocery store and his mind was blown!
I remember as a kids we didn’t go out to eat for breakfast very often but when we did I do remember that there were all kinds of fruity syrups on the table and I LOVED it. At home if my Mom made pancakes and the realized we didn’t have syrup we’d just eat them with jelly, so this fruity syrup was the best of both of those worlds. It would run down the pancake and had the great bright flavor of fruit. I’ve shared my Apple Pie Syrup with you all and this Easy Homemade Blackberry Sauce is my summertime favorite. I’ts so super easy to make that it’s going to be in my fridge for awhile now!

I made this tonight (I only had a cup of blackberries, so I quartered the recipe) to put on cheese blintzes. It was fantastic! Thanks for the recipe.

This looks amazing and I have so much blackberries from just outside – gotta love the country life.
Could I use arrowroot starch instead of cornstarch?
It the recipe ok for canning? I wanna make a lot and if I it is, would I do the canning part just like with jam?
Thanks,
Avi

What’s the shelf life if I make a lot?

What is the shelf life for this sauce?
Julie @Real Housemoms says
I’d say easily 3-5 days in the fridge. We haven’t really tested it beyond that…it always gets eaten. 🙂

I made this with some fresh BlackBerries from Conagee and Penn farm in Jacksonville Florida. I added a little bit less sugar and instead I added some Ryan and juice from an orange. It came out delicious. My daughter ate it on a freshly baked Slice of Seminola bread. Delicious.
