With summer in full swing and lots of delicious fresh berries at the markets – this is the perfect time to make a sauce with loads of berries. A honey sauce that isn’t overly sweet and as pretty as can be.

About the recipe

This is definitely not your typical overly sweet honey sauce.  Not only does it taste awesome, its the easiest sauce to make.  It’s the melted butter and fresh blackberries that give this sauce a lovely not so sweet fruity flavor.  Little lavender flowers add a delicate floral fragrance. 

Fancy sauce for pancakes or yogurt

I have to give a shout out to my daughter Rani who made this sauce for Mother’s Day and served it over Syrian pancakes.  That girl! She loves making fancy foods 😀. 

She got the recipe from one of her favorite instagram bloggers Half Baked Harvest.   The original recipe called for passion fruit but Rani made her sauce with blackberries. 

I have to say having tasted the sauce I think I prefer juicy plump blackberries!  Serve it over ice cream, over waffles, over pancakes, over Greek yogurt, or even just simple berries and cream. Give it a try!
