- 3pints mixed berries (raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, huckleberries or blackberries)
- 1/3cup sugar or maple syrup
Instructions
- Clean and hull berries. Cut any large berries (strawberries) in half. Place in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle with sugar or syrup.
- Cook until berries are warm and soft and start to lose their juice, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and put in a bowl.
- As they sit, their juices will continue to come out and the flavors will open.
