Directions
1. Cook raspberries, blackberries, sugar, and 1/4 cup (60ml) water in a small saucepan over low heat until sugar is dissolved and berries have released their color, 12–15 minutes. You do not have to reduce the liquid. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing the fruit, cover and allow to chill.
