Ingredients
- 600g blackberries
- 400g mixed red, black and white currants
- 85g golden caster sugar
- 90ml crème de cassis
Method
- Wash the fruit and place in a large, heavy-based saucepan with the sugar and crème de cassis. Slowly bring to the boil, then turn the heat down to a gentle simmer. Cover with a lid and cook gently for 7-10 minutes. Carefully taste the syrup – it should be not too sweet but just sweet enough.
- Serve warm as a pudding, or store in sterilised jars, or allow to cool then freeze in plastic containers.

Loved this recipe had a freezer full of summer berries, still worked a treat and was fabulous on pancakes and porridge in the morning
