Any suggestions on adding fruit in secondary

I just finished a 1 gallon batch of Mead and am in the aging process. When should I add fruit to the secondary to get a delicious flavored mead?

I was just reading up on this this morning. The article suggested using an immersion blender to break up the fruit, pasturizing In a double boiler at 150 degrees for ten minutes and then adding the fruit (and juice from the fruit) into secondary fermenter via muslin bag. Condition your mead alongside fruit in secondary fermenter as you normally would.
I was thinking of making a lactose fruited ipa with blackberries.
