Servings:
6 to 8 servings
Ingredients
-
1 cup water
-
1/2 cup sugar
-
4 cups fresh blackberries or frozen unsweetened blackberries
-
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
-
2 tablespoons finely shredded lemon peel
Directions
1.
In a medium saucepan combine water and sugar; bring to boiling, stirring frequently. Boil gently, uncovered, for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
2.
In a blender or food processor combine blackberries, the warm syrup mixture, and lemon juice. Cover and blend or process until almost smooth. Strain mixture through a fine mesh sieve, discarding seeds. Stir in 1 teaspoon of the lemon peel.
3.
Transfer the mixture to a 3-quart rectangular baking dish or a 13x9x2-inch baking pan. Place in the freezer, uncovered, for 1-1/2 hours or until almost solid.

*Note
If mixture remains in the freezer longer than the 1 additional hour, let it stand at room temperature about 20 minutes before breaking up mixture with a fork and serving.
