Method

  • step 1

    If using strawberries, hull, halve or quarter to make them a similar size to the other berries. Tip all the fruits into a large pan with 2-3 tbsp water, sugar to taste and your choice of flavourings.

  • step 2

    Bring to the boil then simmer for 3-5 mins. Don't overcook, or the fruits will not hold their shape. Keeps in the fridge for up to 2 days, in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Nothing special but works perfectly well and was a good use of a glut of redcurrants.

Really easy and quick. Made using leftover raspberries and blueberries with a cinnamon stick for flavour - delicious.
