Wild berries are one of my favorite things about late summer. I’ve been making some super delicious blackberry smoothies lately – wow, such amazing color. Now that I have a nice bit of them stored in the freezer I am wondering about other ways to use them. What are your favorite simple blackberry recipes?
A new bag soon to be in the shop. I challenged myself with this one, to create a bag with enough pockets to really stash a lot of stuff. I have been assembling most of my bag interiors with a similar layout for quite some time, so it felt great to explore some changes.
Sewed a small organizer tote last week to stash some of the things on my shelf. I really enjoyed this little project so I made a couple extras. There is going to be a little giveaway tomorrow : )
See you then…
i love that new bag of yours, abby! the yellow bag with the pattern has stolen my heart, though!
i will jump on that giveaway, sista! perfect for my bathroom organizing :)
such a cute little tote!
That bag is amazing!
I too live in the land of many blackberries and am always looking for new ways to enjoy them. Blackberry liquor is easy and delicious, but this sauce is over the top – especially over grilled salmon…
Blackberry Butter Sauce
Serves 6 or a few more
½ c blackberries or similar berry
Juice of 1 lemon, about 3T
2 T sugar
¼ c white wine or grape juice with a splash of vinegar
1 t crushed garlic
salt and pepper
½ stick unsalted butter, cold, cut into 1 inch chunks
Puree the blackberries with the lemon juice, sugar,wine, garlic, salt and pepper in a blender or in the pot with an immersion blender. Strain if you don’t like seeds.
Boil rapidly over high heat until puree is reduced to ¼ cup.
Quickly stir in butter. Do not return to a boil.
Serve immediately over grilled fish.
Recipe from Greg Atkinson (adjusted by me to use way less butter!)
Loving the new bags. And I find truly beautiful everything born from necessity (such as your organizing totes). Welcome back!
