Ingredients

• 4 cups fresh blackberries
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 cup water
• 0.25 cup cornstarch

2. Smash blackberries in a bowl until they are mostly liquid, with only a few chunks remaining.
3. Bring sugar, water, cornstarch, and lemon juice to a boil in a saucepan over high heat: stir and cook for 3 minutes. Off heat, mix in blackberries.
4. Combine flour, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon in a bowl. Add butter: mix until crumbly.
