Ingredients
2 cups (300g) fresh blackberries, rinsed, drained, and lightly crushed
2 cups (400g) white sugar
2 sprigs fresh thyme, or to taste
2 sprigs fresh sage, or to taste
1 cup (240ml) white vinegar
Directions
Step 1
Start by washing and sterilizing a bowl or jar. Add the blackberries and cover them with sugar. Add the thyme and sage, then stir well to combine. Cover with a lid or plastic wrap, and refrigerate. Stir occasionally until a pool of juice and syrup forms around the blackberries, which should take about 1 to 2 days.
Step 2
Remove the thyme and sage from the bowl. Place a fine mesh strainer over a separate bowl and pour in the blackberry mixture. Gently press on the solids to extract all the juice.
Step 3
Sterilize a glass jar or bottle. Pour in the juice and add the vinegar. Cover with a lid and shake gently to dissolve any remaining sugar. Let the mixture rest for at least 1 day to allow the flavors to intensify.
