Blackberry Bourbon Brownies




It was late last night, and I was poking around for something dessert-like. So I came up with this.

I've had a jar of bourbon-soaked blackberries in my fridge for a while. Basically, just fill up a jar you were going to throw away anyway with berries, fill it to the brim with liquor, seal it up, stick it in the back of the fridge, and forget about it. It keeps indefinitely, and you're left with both a berry-infused booze, and booze-infused berries. Awesome for desserts like this one.

Made the brownies from a standard package, in a springform pan. Sprinkled dark chocolate chips and crushed up, bourbon-soaked raspberries and blackberries all through the top. You may have to bake a bit longer than the package says. Easy, and really good.



The topping is leftover bourbon-cranberry sauce I had made for a previous dessert, my once-a-year pumpkin cheesecake with a gingersnap crust. That was really good too.
