When ready to cook, set Z Grill temperature to 500℉ and preheat, lid closed, for 10 to 15 minutes.

3

Remove from grill and let cool. When cool enough to handle, juice limes and reserve.

Combine the blackberries with 2 Tbsp sugar. Using the rim of a glass or a fork, lightly crush the blackberries to allow some of the juice to escape.
