This week will be all about berries - blackberries, raspberries or strawberries - and I will be sharing several sweet and savoury recipes to make the most of these delicious low-carb summer fruits!

The main ingredient of this recipe is home-made ketchup which I use in all sorts of BBQ sauces. You can make this easy summer BBQ sauce in less than 10 minutes. Best of all, you can use either fresh or frozen blackberries.

It goes great with meat such as BBQ Pork Ribs or even on top of fried eggs!
