Ingredients
- 1 10-ounce package frozen blackberries, partially thawed
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine blackberries, honey, vinegar, wine, and a pinch of salt. Mash berries lightly with a fork. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered, about 8 minutes, until sauce is slightly thickened.
