Bring the mixture to a boil while stirring occasionally. Cook the berries until softened and the juice thickens, about 8-10 minutes. You can also mash the berries up for smaller chunks.*You should be able to draw a line in the saucepan, and the line should stay for a couple of seconds. It will become even thicker when cooled.*
