Steps:
- Stir 1/4 cup water, sugar and mint in medium saucepan over medium heat until sugar dissolves and syrup comes to simmer. Remove from heat. Cover and let steep 5 minutes. Add thawed blackberries with juices, reserved blackberry puree from Frozen Blackberry-Cream Pops, and cassis. Transfer mixture to blender and puree until smooth. Strain sauce into medium bowl, pressing on solids to extract as much liquid as possible; discard solids in strainer. Chill until cold. (Can be prepared 2 days ahead. Cover and keep refrigerated.)
BLUEBERRY OR BLACKBERRY COMPOTE WITH YOGURT OR RICOTTA
Blueberries don't need much in the way of sweetener (blackberries are more tart, so you might want to use a little more with them), yet this simple compote will transform a plain bowl of yogurt or ricotta cheese into a dessert - or a very nice breakfast. The compote is modeled on Deborah Madison's recipe in her lovely book, "Seasonal Fruit Desserts." She sweetens her compote with maple syrup or maple sugar, which is also a lovely way to go. The small amount of cinnamon brings out the essential essence of the berries. I like to add a touch of rose water; the floral essence is beautiful with the berries. Don't simmer for too long, or the compote will become more like jam - though it is also nice as a sort of jam with toast. Ricotta is richer than yogurt, so I serve less of it with the berries.

Steps:
- Combine all ingredients except cornstarch dissolved in water and ricotta or yogurt in a saucepan. Add 1 tablespoon water and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer until blueberries release their juices and blackberries begin to break apart, about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally from time to time.
- Stir in dissolved cornstarch and stir until mixture thickens. Remove from heat and allow to cool, or serve warm, spooned over yogurt or ricotta. Alternative method: I use this method with blackberries, since as they break down more: Toss the berries in a bowl with 2 tablespoons organic sugar. Cover and refrigerate overnight. The next day, add 1 more tablespoon sugar, honey or agave nectar if desired and proceed with step 1 of the recipe.
