How to Make Blackberry vinaigrette

• Wash the blackberries thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
• In a small saucepan, combine the blackberries and sugar. Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the blackberries are soft and release their juices. Remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
• Transfer the cooked blackberries to a blender or food processor. Add balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and Dijon mustard.
• Blend the mixture until smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
• If the vinaigrette is too thick, you can add a little water or extra olive oil to reach the desired consistency.
• Once the blackberry vinaigrette is ready, strain it through a fine mesh sieve to remove any remaining seeds or pulp, if desired.
• Transfer the strained vinaigrette to a glass jar or airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use.
