Seedless Blackberry Sauce

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This savory, seedless blackberry sauce recipe is perfect for meat dishes like duck, pork, chicken, turkey, or even steak! It’s a smooth, seedless sauce with a touch of balsamic and orange that adds an elegant brightness to your meal! It also takes only 15 minutes to make!

This sauce is my go-to for roasted duck every time I make it, but I’ve also used it on pork chops and even Cornish game hen!

It’s a savory version of the blackberry compote I use in my panna cotta with blackberry cabernet sauce, which incidentally, can be used as a sauce for both sweet and savory dishes if you’re looking for a dessert sauce.

Ingredient Notes

4 ingredients on a table with titles describing what they are.

Blackberries – you can use fresh or frozen, but if you use frozen, thaw first, and use any juices that are released.

Orange Juice – With or without pulp. You’ll be straining everything so you can use either.

Sugar – I used Sugar in the Raw, but you can also use white sugar or even brown sugar for a deeper flavor.

Balsamic Vinegar – I prefer dark balsamic, but you can substitute with white. It just won’t have quite as bold a flavor.

How to Make This Sauce – Step by Step

1. In a saucepan, add 6 oz. blackberries and ¼ cup orange juice. Use a potato masher to break apart the berries, and give it a stir.

2. Add 2 tbsp. of balsamic vinegar.

3. Add 2 tbsp. of sugar. Turn heat to LOW and simmer for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until nicely reduced.

4. Push sauce through a mesh strainer to remove the seeds. Place it in a container and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Common Questions

1. Can I freeze this sauce?

You can freeze blackberry sauce, and it will thaw perfectly. It helps to store it in a ziplock bag without any air inside so it doesn’t form ice crystals over time.

2. How long will it last?

If not frozen, this sauce will stay delicious for at least 1-2 weeks. If frozen in a ziplock bag, it will be perfect for months.

3. Can I use this on sweet recipes too?

It may not be perfect for every kind of dessert like my blackberry compote, but I think it would be very intriguing on vanilla ice cream or drizzled-over chocolate cake.
