What each ingredient does
- Berries
- Provide the main fruit body, with their own juice softening them as they heat.
- Sugar
- Adds sweetness and helps preserve the fruit's flavor and set during boiling.
The step that matters
Boil all together for 15 minutes. Boiling the sugar and fruit together for the full time dissolves the sugar and brings the mixture to a temperature that helps it keep once canned.
