• Mash the fruits halfway. 

Let it cool to test the thickness.

Here are a few tips to help you with this:

• Thaw the berries before using them. However, don’t do it excessively. It could lead to a watery jam. 
• Place them in a jam pan and cook over low heat.

• Stir everything continuously until all the juices are released from your berries.
