I don't exactly have a recipe for it, Chuck. What I do is smush a cup or
so of berries, sweeten and thicken to taste by adding a mixture and
cornstarch, then cook over moderately low heat until the juices are clear.
At the end I stir in a couple of cups of raw berries along with the
flavoring. That way you get a nice glaze punctuated by the uncooked
berries.
