2. Pick the berries, rinse them thoroughly, and leave them in a colander to drain. Meanwhile, put a pot of boiling water on the stove. When all excess liquid has drained away, wait for the water to boil. Then lower the berries, still in the colander, into the water so that it covers them (I usually use a wide container for the boiling water).
