Mmmm, good! I thought the recipe needed more blackberry flavour, so I used three cups of blackberries instead of one cup. We made some of the Blackberry Quench into popsicles - just the thing for a hot summer's day. (Yes, I tried this last summer but am only now getting around to posting a review.)
