Stage 1 - Combine ingredients

Grab a small saucepan and place it over medium heat. Add all the ingredients to the pan.

500g frozen mixed berries 

3 tbsp sugar

Juice of ½ lemon 

Salt - small pinch

stage 2 - Cook it down

Let the berries heat up, stirring occasionally, until they start to release their juices. This should take around 10 minutes.

stage 3 - Mash & thicken

As the fruit softens, use a spoon or fork to gently mash some of the berries for a chunkier texture. If you like it smoother, blend it lightly. Let it simmer for another 5 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.

stage 4 - Cool & store

Remove from the heat and let it cool before transferring to a sealed container. It will continue to thicken as it cools. Store in the fridge for up to 14 days or freeze.
