Instructions

4 steps
  1. 1

    Wash both berries.

    Hull and roughly chop the strawberries, then put all the fruit in a heavy saucepan.

  2. 2

    Crush the berries roughly with a potato masher and add the water.

    Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring.

  3. 3

    Lower the heat and simmer uncovered for about 1 hour.

    Scrape the bottom regularly, stirring more often as the mixture thickens.

  4. 4

    Stop when the fruit has broken down and a spoonful spreads slowly rather than running freely.

    Serve warm or transfer to a shallow container and refrigerate.

Tips

Sweetness and acidity depend on the fruit. Add water a tablespoon at a time if it dries too quickly, or simmer gently longer for a thicker result.
