2 tablespoons brandy
2 tablespoons orange juice
In a food processor, purée 2 cups blackberries with brandy and orange juice. Transfer to a sieve and press out juice, discarding the seeds.
Stir remaining whole berries into sauce just before serving. Serve over ice cream or pound cake.
Makes about 2 cups.
