List of Ingredients



• 4 to 6 cups frozen blackberries
  
• 6 Tbsp sugar
  
• 1-3/4 cups water
  
• 2 Tbsp blackberry brandy
  
• 1 Tbsp brandy
  






Instructions



1. In a saucepan, combine the berries, water and sugar. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour. Remove from the heat and strain through a fine sieve or cheesecloth. Stir in the blackberry brandy and brandy.
   
   
2. Pour the mixture into an 8x8-inch baking pan and freeze for 1 hour. Pour the partially frozen mixture into a food processor. Cover and pulse processor 6 to 8 times.
   
   
3. Pour back into baking pan and freeze for another hour; process as before. Continue the freezing and processing until the sorbet reaches a very slushy consistency. This will require a total of 4 to 5 hours. Return it to the freezer until ready to serve.
   
   This recipe can also be prepared in a traditional ice cream freezer according to the manufacturer's instructions.
