Reviews
The recipe calls for 2-4 tbsp sugar depending on berries sweetness. My berries were rather tart, so i added 3 tbsp. This was a mistake. I should have added only 1 or 2 tbsp. The pomegranate juice, milk, and especially vanilla ice cream are sweet enough. I did cook the berries for a minute on the stove just as it called for, which i think helped the taste. The shake turned out a little runny, so put it in the freezer for 20 minutes to get it colder and thicker. Overall, it was pretty refreshing. Just a little too sweet for my taste. I will try again with less sugar.
Brilliant! Blackberries have become one of my favorites as well. Especially since I’ve been able to pick them in my backyard for the last 5 yrs…
The family and I went out in mid-July to pick blackberries. I got a bit over zealous picking and came home with several pounds of blackberries. Not having any ideas how to prepare blackberries, other than popping them in your mouth, I came to Food Network for ideas. I halved this recipe, and only used 1 tablespoon of sugar. I couldn’t get my hands on pom juice either, so I used pom cocktail. I also didn’t cook the blackberries down…they’re getting pureed in a blender, why would you need to break them down? Easy and quick. My shake was much more purple than the picture, but tasted very good. If you can stand the seedy pulp, it is a tasty, refreshing shake.
This shake is so easy and refreshing. A real winner!
I made this without the ice cream to keep it healthier and it was amazing! Very tasty and refreshing.
I just made this shake. It is terrific. Cooking the blackberries just slightly with sugar was a good idea to make sure they are not sour. Pom juice bumps up the flavor. Beautiful color too.
It?s good and creamy
