Blackberries coated in white chocolate

By chance I noticed both blackberries and white chocolate were on special at the supermarket today. Nice, I thought. I sampled one of the berries and they were pretty good.

Out of all the fruits, aside from chilli and capsicum and tomato and all those other ones that most people consider vegetables, my favourites are easily, easily the berries. Blueberries and blackberries especially.

Ingredients:

1 x 125g gram tub blackberries (you could also use blueberries, raspberries or strawberries--go with what's affordable and good)
most of a block of white chocolate

To melt the chocolate, put a little water in a small saucepan. Heat over a medium flame. Place a metal bowl over the saucepan. The bottom of the bowl shouldn't come in contact with the water. Too, I mean, the water should never boil. White chocolate, even moreso than milk chocolate and dark chocolate, needs to be melted slowly or you'll balls it up. Break the white chocolate into pieces and drop said pieces into the bowl. When they start to melt, drop the heat to low. Stir the chocolate from time to time. When completely melted, start dipping the berries in. Me, I just jammed a toothpick in them. That made it easier. If you were ultra lazy you could, of course, arrange the berries on a plate or dish and just pour the white chocolate over them.
