Blackberry parfait with ice-cream, caramel and pecan nuts

In a small sauce pan, combine half the blackberries and sugar together over a medium heat until the sugar has melted. You should get a nice liquid from the berries. You can blend them down fully using a hand blender if you like or simply leave them as they are – slightly lumpy with a tasty sauce.

Get two tall ice cream glasses and pour in a little of the sauce into each glass. Spoon in a couple of full berries before topping with some ice-cream. Continue this layering pattern until all ingredients are used up.

Top with the pecan nuts and caramel sauce.
