How to Make Easy Warm Berry Topping

Combine 2 cups frozen mixed berries (or all strawberries), 1/2 cup strawberry jelly, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar in a large skillet.
Let the mixture stand at room temperature for approximately 1-2 hours, or until the berries are completely thawed and the mixture is juicy. Stir occasionally and gently break up larger berries into smaller pieces.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring frequently, until the mixture has thickened to your desired consistency (about 10-15 minutes). It should be thick but still chunky.
Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm over your favorite dessert!
