This is a sauce that has four ingredients and 75% can be sourced from your backyard. 1. Blackberries, yes I do have blackberry vines in my backyard. 2. L Honey, well I had a hive in my backyard but a neighbor complained and I moved it to a yard nearby. 3. Peppers, I used a poblano pepper from my yard. 4. The tablespoon of sugar – well, it is store bought.
Simple, 16 ounces of blackberries but raspberries would work too. If frozen thaw before cooking.
1/4 to 1/3 cup of local raw honey. I used a 1/4 cup.
Pepper. I used a medium poblano that was from my garden. You can used black pepper, 1 tbsp, or any other peppers depending on your taste and desire for heat.
1 tbsp of sugar
Medium heat and stir often. To speed up the fruit breakdown I use a potato masher.
Run through a strainer once the consistency you want is reached. I am using mine for a pork loin glaze so I will let it thicken. Should also be good on Blue Bell Vanilla ice cream!
Recipe lifted from;
Simmering on the stove
Added a bit of the pulp and seed back into the sauce for texture. I put it back onto the stove to simmer until it thickened to my liking. The taste and aroma are amazing. I think the pork loin will be a real treat.
