This easy blackberry sauce takes just minutes to make, and is ideal for pancakes, ice cream and other puddings, as well as savoury recipes. Use fresh or frozen fruit - no need to defrost!
Add the blackberries and 2 tablespoons of water to a pan and place on a medium heat. Cook gently for 5 minutes until the juices are running. (If you are using frozen fruit, you may need a minute or two longer.)
Remove from the heat. Stir in the honey, lemon juice and chia seed. Leave to thicken for 5 minutes. If you want, you can lightly mash the berries.
Notes
Adjust the sweetness to suit your taste.If using the sauce for a savoury dish, you could replace the water in the recipe with red wine.
