Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams fresh raspberries
- 60 milliliters freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 30 milliliters water
Instructions
Rinse the fresh raspberries thoroughly under cold water and drain well.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the raspberries, freshly squeezed orange juice, honey, and water.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Cook the raspberry mixture for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries have broken down and the mixture thickens slightly.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
Stir in the vanilla extract, mixing well.
Using a blender or an immersion blender, puree the raspberry mixture until smooth.
Pour the puree through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove the seeds, using a spatula to press the sauce through.
Transfer the smooth coulis into a storage container and allow it to cool completely before using.
Serve the raspberry coulis drizzled over desserts, yogurt, or pancakes, or store it in the refrigerator for up to one week.
