   * To make berry juice, wash the berries well and put them in a large saucepan. Heat, stirring and mashing, until they are hot and juicy. Press them through a colander, and then strain the juice through a jelly bag or two layers of cheesecloth. (Sometimes the natural pectin content of the berries is so great that this turns to jelly rather than syrup.)
