I was eating breakfast with my dear friend Melanie when we started talking about what we craved while we were pregnant. Mel mentioned how she craved Cracker Barrel’s pancakes topped with hot blackberries .
Ooooo….that sounded so good!!!
So, I just had to take a “crack” at making them myself.
So, in honor of pregnancy cravings and friendship- here’s the recipe. Mmmmmm……
Smoosh 2 small cartons of blackberries like so… (thank you, girls- great job!)
*As we were smooshing, we talked about how people used to dye their clothing with berries just like these!
After about 3-5 minutes of smooshing…this is what you’ll get.
Pour into a medium saucepan placed on medium heat. Add sugar (this is how I measure when I don’t blog- the truth comes out!)
Take some of your syrup out and add cornstarch to make a paste. Add it back into the pan and stir until liquid thickens slightly.
Mmm….pipping hot and steamy sweet blackberries- ready to eat!
Ladle on top of your pancakes with butter and enjoy! You may wish to add maple syrup as well….

Looks like something I would enjoy. I have about 4 qts in the deep. I think I will try this tomorrow but with out the cornstarch so I can put it in a cute bottle and share with someone.
Thanks for sharing your recipes.
Is tit ok to can this in a hot water bath?
Dear Courtney,
I love it when you share recipes, especially Janelle’s – her blog is terrific!
Just wondering, though, if you are planning a “Q&A” for this week – your “Q&A Wednesday” series is a much anticipated treat!
Blessings,
Lorelai
Hi Lorelai,
Thanks for asking!
I was traveling last week and unable to make my Q & A Video – I was hoping to have one for this Wednesday but I’m unsure if that will happen… 😉 So sorry!
I’m so glad you like them. Thank you!
