Ingredients

  • 6 cups frozen mixed berries
  • 1 cup frozen cranberries
  • 3 cups water

Instructions

  • Place the frozen berries and cranberries, sugar and 3 cups of water in a pot over high heat. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to medium-high and simmer for about 15 minutes.
  • Taste kissel and add more sugar if necessary. This will depend on the natural sugars in your fruit.
