You can also make raspberry, strawberry or currant syrup.

I add thyme, but you can also leave it out. Or replace with basil or rosemary.

Ingredients

  • 500 g (1 lb/4 cups) blackberries
  • juice of

Method

Wash the berries and stamp them in a large bowl using a masher. You can also blitz them briefly in a food processor. Place the fruit pulp in a large pan, add the lemon juice and thyme and bring to a boil. Leave to simmer for approx. 10 minutes until the fruit is soft. Pour through a strainer over another pan. With the round side of a ladle press out all the juice. Heat the collected juice again
