Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams fresh or frozen blueberries
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
1. In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and water.
2. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
3. Continue to simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the blueberries have softened and released their juices.
4. Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
5. Using a blender or an immersion blender, puree the mixture until smooth. For a chunkier texture, you can skip this step or blend partially.
6. Optional: If you prefer a smoother coulis, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, discarding any solids.
7. Allow the coulis to cool completely and transfer it to an airtight container or jar. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
8. Serve the coulis drizzled over your favorite desserts, pancakes, waffles, or yogurt.
