How to Make Luscious Blackberry Thyme Sauce

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.

Pitfalls and tips

Ingredient Quality

Use organic and local blackberries and fresh thyme for the best flavor profile.

Cooking Time

Cook just until berries release juices and desired consistency is reached to preserve flavor and color.

Balancing Flavors

Adjust sweetness and acidity with lemon juice or balsamic vinegar for a bright, balanced taste.

Infusing Thyme

Add thyme early in cooking but remove before it overpowers the sauce for a perfect aromatic balance.

Straining

Strain through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth for a silky-smooth sauce.
