Instructions
Combine 1 cup frozen blackberries, water and sugar in a medium-sized saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil.
Remove from heat when sugar has dissolved completely then set aside to cool.
Once cooled, strain through a sieve, discarding the pulp and seeds. This should yield about 1½ cups of blackberry simple syrup.
