MizzNezz, My husband has blackberries all year round as we have tame berry bushes and he cans and freezes them.So when I ran across this recipe I decided to give it a whirl,The only thing I did different was use more sugar,I like things pretty sweet I actualy used 1/2 cup of suger. This was really good. Thanks,Darlene Summers

Elegant is exactly the right word to describe this dish. Oooooo! So good! So beautiful! Soooo easy! I skipped the powdered sugar since I loved the way it looked without it.
