1. Combine Ingredients in Saucepan
Place the blackberries, water, sugar, and thyme sprigs into a small saucepan. Over medium-low heat, allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer.
2. Simmer Mixture
Let the mixture continue to simmer for about 20 minutes. The blackberries will fall apart, blending seamlessly with the water and sugar to create a richly flavored base.
3. Strain Mixture
Carefully strain the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a bowl. Use the back of a spoon to press down on the solids, extracting as much liquid as possible while leaving the seeds and thyme behind.
4. Add Lemon Juice
Stir in the fresh lemon juice to brighten the flavor of the sauce.
5. Chill Sauce
Transfer the sauce to the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 2 hours.
Use organic and local blackberries and fresh thyme for the best flavor profile.
Cook just until berries release juices and desired consistency is reached to preserve flavor and color.
Adjust sweetness and acidity with lemon juice or balsamic vinegar for a bright, balanced taste.
Add thyme early in cooking but remove before it overpowers the sauce for a perfect aromatic balance.
Strain through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth for a silky-smooth sauce.
