Use a potato masher to coarsely crush the berries in a medium bowl. Pour mashed berries into a 2- to 3-quart pan and set over medium-high heat. Add remaining ingredients.
Step 2
2
Bring mixture to a boil, then simmer, uncovered, until the berries cook down to a purée and turn bright red, about 20 minutes.
