Last week, I spotted Blackberry at my store at a very cheap rate, around $0.77 Per pint. Great deal right! So I grabbed 5 pints to make delicious recipes from it.
I love homemade Lemonades. it beats the store bought version any time! The best thing that I love the most about making lemonades at home, is that you can control the amount of tartness, sweetness and adjust it according to your choice.
Just like my Lemonade syrup recipe, cherry cooler, and Strawberry Lemonade, this one is also easy to make. I gave little bit Indian twist to this lemonade syrup by adding Black salt, black pepper powder, and cumin powder.
This recipe is very similar to a cherry cooler. The only difference in cherry drink, I made it in traditional pressure cooker whereas, in this Blackberry Lemonade Syrup recipe, I have used Instant Pot. Everything else is the same.
