Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh or frozen blackberries
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the Blackberries: In a medium saucepan, combine blackberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Stir gently.
- Step 2: Cook Down the Fruit: Bring mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring, until berries are soft and burst.
- Step 3: Strain for Silkiness: Pour mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing solids to extract all liquid and pulp. Discard seeds.
- Step 4: Incorporate the Butter: While purée is still warm, add softened unsalted butter and salt. Whisk or blend with an immersion blender until smooth and emulsified.
- Step 5: Cool and Thicken: Transfer to clean jars. Cool completely to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours to thicken to a spreadable consistency.
