Step 1
Place all our berries into a deep saucepan, briefly pour over with boiling water. Drain the water, leaving just a small amount of boiling water at the bottom together with the berries. Then, using a pestle, mash the berries into a puree. Warning: do this carefully — the berries splatter a lot.
