For a deeper flavor, consider adding a splash of red wine or a pinch of cinnamon to the berry mixture. If using frozen berries, there's no need to thaw them beforehand; simply add them directly to the saucepan. Adjust the amount of sugar to your preference, depending on the sweetness of the berries.
