   Meanwhile wash and pat dry the lemon thyme. Wash, pit and chop the mirabelles. Rinse the lemons hot, pat dry and zest into very fine strips. Cut the lemons in half and squeeze out the juice. Add thyme, mirabelles, lemon zest and juice, 90 g coconut palm sugar, apple juice and 250 ml water to a pot. Cook bubbling for 3 minutes while stirring.
