Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams fresh raspberries
- 60 milliliters water
- 15 milliliters fresh lemon juice
- 30 grams honey
- 5 grams cornstarch
Instructions
Begin by washing the fresh raspberries under cold running water. Drain them well in a sieve or a colander.
In a small saucepan, combine the raspberries, water, and honey.
Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the mixture begins to boil.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the raspberries to break down and release their juices.
While the raspberries are simmering, in a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the fresh lemon juice to form a smooth paste.
Slowly stir the cornstarch mixture into the saucepan with the raspberries, ensuring it is well distributed.
Increase the heat slightly and bring the mixture back to a boil for 1-2 minutes, or until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the coulis to cool slightly.
For a smooth coulis, press the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, using the back of a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible.
Transfer the strained coulis to a clean container or bottle and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
Enjoy your low-fat raspberry coulis on top of desserts, pancakes, or even breakfast cereals!
