Put the blackberries, sugar, vanilla seeds and the empty vanilla pod in a small saucepan, and add a couple of tablespoons of cold water if needed.
Bring the contents of the pan to the boil, stirring as you go.
Once the compote is boiling, turn the heat down to medium – and let the compote simmer for about 20 minutes.
You should be able to see the liquid thickening – if not, turn the heat up slightly.
Pour the blackberry compote into a sterilised jar and keep it in the fridge until you are ready to serve.
*Blackberry compote thickens as it cools. If you haven't reduced it enough, you can simply pour it back into the pan and reduce it a little further.
If you have reduced it too much, add a little boiling water to the compote until you have the consistency you want. It should be soft and slightly runny.
