Blackberry Pinot Noir Slush

DIRECTIONS

1. Pour wine into 3 ice cube trays and freeze until solid, at least 4 hours or overnight.
2. In a medium saucepan combine sweetener, water, and blackberries. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring to dissolve sweetener. Simmer for 5 minutes, occasionally mashing the berries against the side of the pan. Strain well and chill completely.
3. To a blender add wine ice cubes and ¾ cup berry syrup. Blend until smooth.
4. Pour slush into glasses and garnish with blackberries and lime wheels.
5. Keep remaining syrup in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Note: Berry syrup will separate as it chills. This is normal. Simply shake well right before using.
