- Meanwhile, put frozen berries and cinnamon in a medium saucepan over a medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until Mixture is warmed through. Remove from heat. Cover and set aside for 10 minutes to allow berries to soften. Pour berry Mixture into a shallow dish. Set aside for 15 minutes to cool. Spoon cooled berry mixture over sago mixture. Cover and Refrigerate puddings for 4 hours or until well chilled.
