I started with a cup of berries. Soaked them for several hours. Then rinsed and drained, but when I put them back in the pan to boil, I then added 2 cups of water and it took forever to cook the water out. I must have simmered it for 1.5 hrs and even ended up taking the lid off at the end trying to boil down the water. I ended up just having to drain them again because they were definitely done! Where did I go wrong?
