Blackberry Sauce

  There's no food I enjoy more than fresh, sweet blackberries eaten by the handful. I got some locally grown blackberries recently that were a bit sour, so this is how I sweetened them up and made a sauce ideal for pancakes, French toast, ice cream, or frozen yogurt. 

  Just wash the berries and place them in a saucepan with a little water so they don't stick to the bottom. Stir in some sweetener for recipes to taste and about 2 tablespoons of corn starch to thicken the sauce, the amounts will vary based on how many blackberries you have. Cook over medium heat and stir for a few minutes until the sauce is the desired thickness. Serve warm.
  This is a great way to use extra berries or to sweeten the sour ones. It has no more calories than the fresh berries would have.
