  • Wait for the natural pressure release for 15-minutes and open the lid. The berry mixture may look little foamy but it will all go after the mixture is thickened.

  • Now set the IP to sauté mode, and reduce the sauce by bringing to a boil. Stir it continuously so it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan.
  • Transfer to a serving dish and serve it chilled. The sauce thickens more as it cools down.
