This can be made with blueberries (if you see them cheap in the supermarket in the UK), blackcurrents and/or blackberries (free if you have a bush near you).

Rinse your berries and put them in the saucepan with the honey and water. I use a regular supermarket punnet- about enough to cover the bottom of a plate in a single layer. If they are bruised and squishy, all the better. I always make this with reduced/older berries to use them up.
Put them on a high heat for 10 min, covered. They will bubble and foam. Stir half way through. Don't worry, they won't 'catch' because of the water.
Pour the mixture into a bowl to cool it (it will be VERY hot, much too hot to eat). It can be served hot or cold now. Some uses: -in cocktails -on bread like jam -stirred into yoghurt -in baking -over icecream etc'. It lasts a day or 2 in the fridge.
