Directions:

1. Combine blackberries, thyme sprigs, and sugar in a sauce pan and stir thoroughly; bring to a boil, then lower heat to a simmer, and let simmer for 10 minutes

2. Combine the cornstarch, water, and lemon juice in a separate bowl and mix well to form a slurry

3. After the berries have cooked for 10 minutes, add the slurry to the blackberries and mix well with a whisk

4. Turn the heat to  medium and simmer for another 10 minutes, until thickened.  The blackberries should retain their shape and have a glossy look to them

5. Remove sprigs of thyme and discard

6. Jam can now be cooled and refrigerated for later use or used immediately
