Additional blackberries (for garnish)

Preparation

  1. Make blackberry sauce:

    Step 1

    Combine 1 cup blackberries, sugar and water in heavy medium saucepan. Bring to boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Boil until mixture is reduced by half, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Puree mixture in blender until smooth. Strain sauce into small bowl. Cool.
