Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh apricots
- 75 grams granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 120 milliliters water
Instructions
Wash the apricots thoroughly under running water and pat them dry with a clean towel.
Cut the apricots in half and remove the pits. Cut each half into smaller pieces for quicker cooking.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the chopped apricots, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and water.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
Continue to cook the apricots for around 10-15 minutes until they become soft and start to break down.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow it to cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
Transfer the cooked apricots to a blender or use an immersion blender to puree the mixture until smooth.
If desired for a smoother texture, strain the coulis through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any remaining solids.
Allow the apricot coulis to cool completely before using it as a topping or a sauce.
Store any leftover coulis in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
