Very easy to make and the flavors were incredible. I paired it with organic vanilla bean ice cream and it was a big hit with everyone. Kids loved it too! Thyme is one of my favorite herbs; it really enhanced the other flavors. I can't imagine anyone not liking this. I didn't have any blackberries so I just used double the blueberries with no problems at all. I did have to add a little more sugar and lemon juice; be sure to test the flavors before serving and add a little more if needed as the recipe suggests. Extra sugar and lemon never hurts.
