What each ingredient does

Red raspberries
Provide the main flavor and juice that forms the base of the mush.
Granola
Absorbs the hot juice and thickens the mixture as it stands.

The step that matters

Stir in the granola until thickened. Granola starch and fiber absorb liquid as they heat, so adding it to boiling juice thickens the mush; stirring keeps it even and prevents clumps from forming.
