Transfer the blackberry mixture to a medium saucepan over medium heat and stir in one tablespoon of brown sugar. Cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, until the blackberries have softened and a sauce begins to form, for about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat.

Stir until the mixture is crumbly and well-combined.
