Blackberry Butter

Nothing says summer like a handful of fresh blackberries. As the season comes to a close, we find ourselves savoring every little bit of summer flavor we have left. Blackberry butter is so easy to make. Mix up a combination of fresh blackberries and blackberry preserves for a delicious spread. I love eating blackberry butter on fresh buttermilk waffles and crunchy baguette.
