This Blackberry Sauce adds an unusual and interesting depth of flavour to anything you pair it with.
I used it as a sauce for these Baby Back Ribs. It added a spicy note and slightly fruity flavour. It is not overtly fruity like say a raspberry or strawberry sauce is.
When you think about a fresh blackberry... they have to be really ripe before they are noticeably sweet.
Having said that - this source would go great on pancakes, over ice cream or pound cake. You could even use it as a side source for pork tenderloin. I think it would be awesome with a duck breast too!
And.. it is a great choice for a complement to savoury dish. So many red wines have hints of dark fruit. One common suggestion in wine paring is to match your wine to the sauce in your meal. The sauce is a significant source of the taste of the final dish. So.. this wine pairing would be easy with a Malbec, Mourvedre or Merlot. Any wine that talks about dark fruit, blueberry, even plum would go well with this sauce.
