1. Put the blackberries and sugar into a small pan with 100ml/31⁄2fl oz water. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 5 mins until the fruit is soft. Stir in the vanilla, remove and cool a little.
2. Tip the contents of the pan into a blender or food processor, and whizz to a purée, then strain through a sieve, rubbing it through with the back of a ladle or spoon. Serve warm or chilled. Keeps in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.

  Very quick simple way to use up berries just passing their prime for eating plain - this tastes fabulous on vanilla ice cream.

  Works great! I made two batches, using raspberry for on some pancakes and blueberries for on some ice cream later in the day, both tasted lovely. Will definitely make again.

  I have been given 2lb of fresh blackberries.So I put them with a little watter ,a dash of red wine ,golden caster suger and a large dollop of honey and lastly a good splattering of honey liqueur, left from last xmas. Brought to the boil and simmered until the fruit was tender. stored in the freezer for a refreshing topping on ice-cream for this x-mas.Yummy.

  This is fabulous! I've made it a fair few times now, but I don't always like to strain it after whizzing it up as I quite like the bits. It tastes yummy with melon, cooked apple and as a topping to a plain cheesecake. Delicious!
