    Recipe FAQ's

    ​How would I puree the blackberries without a blender?

    If you do not have a blender, you can always use a food processor or even a potato masher to puree berries. However, using a potato masher might be a bit more work and you might not yield as much juice. 

    Do I have to use blackberries in this recipe?

    I don't see any reason why you couldn't follow the same recipe and use raspberries, blueberries, or strawberries. Raspberry lemonade sounds delicious! As does blueberry lemonade. 

    Would it be okay to use less sugar in this lemonade recipe?

    You can always adjust the amount of sweetness by adding less sugar. You may want to sample the berries first before making any adjustments. 

    Can I use pre-made lemonade in this recipe?

    Sure!. Try the blackberry puree with your favorite lemonade and give it a try.
