Ingredients
  

For the Frosting
  • 1 cup Fresh Blackberries Frozen can be used; thaw and drain before cooking.
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Blackberry Mixture: In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of fresh blackberries with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Stir constantly over medium heat until it bubbles and simmers for about 20 minutes, reducing to 1/3 cup.
  2. Strain and Cool the Puree: Strain the blackberry mixture through a fine sieve into a bowl and let the puree cool for about 10 minutes.
  3. Beat the Butter and Blackberry Puree: In a mixing bowl, beat 1 cup of softened butter until light and fluffy. Gradually add the cooled blackberry puree.
  4. Incorporate the Powdered Sugar: Gradually add 4 cups of powdered sugar, mixing until the frosting is light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Add Vanilla and Adjust Consistency: Mix in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and adjust the consistency with milk or cream as needed.
  6. Final Whip for Lightness: Give the frosting a final whip at high speed for about 1 minute to enhance the lightness.
