Notes
For the Blackberry Thyme Syrup
- In a saucepan, combine equal parts sugar and water. (I used 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and 1/2 cup water)
- Add 1/2-1 cup of fresh or frozen blackberries and 2 sprigs of thyme.
- Simmer the mixture over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely, which usually takes about 10 minutes.
- After about 6 minutes, gently mash the blackberries to release their juices.
- Allow the mixture to simmer for the remaining 4 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and let the syrup sit for a bit to infuse.
- Finally, strain the syrup into a clean mason jar.
- Store the syrup in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
