This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add some spices or herbs next time to give it more flavor.

This was a delicious and easy recipe. I used a mix of berries that I had on hand and it turned out great. The syrup was the perfect amount of sweetness and the berries were cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making this again.

I made this recipe with frozen berries and it turned out great! The berries thawed quickly in the syrup and the whole thing came together in just a few minutes. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar in the syrup next time. Otherwise, it was a good recipe and the berries were very flavorful.
