Serve in small bowls as an appetizer on a hot summer night or as a dessert soup, generously garnished with whipped cream. You can also use black raspberries, if available.
Yield: Serves 6-8
- 4 cups blackberries, fresh or frozen, thawed and drained
- 2 cups cold water
- 1/2 lemon, sliced
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 3 whole cloves
- 2-inch stick cinnamon
- 1/2 cup cream
Set aside a few berries to use as a garnish. Combine berries, water, lemon, sugar, cloves, and cinnamon in soup kettle. Simmer, mashing berries with a spoon, until fruit is soft. Strain through a fine sieve, pressing to remove as much juice as possible. Cool, chill well, and blend in cream. Garnish with berries or whipped cream, or both.
