With a silky-smooth texture achieved by straining out the seeds, this low-sodium delight is perfect for drizzling over desserts like cheesecake, ice cream, or pancakes, and even pairs beautifully with savory dishes like grilled meats or decadent salads. Whether you're hosting a dinner party or just looking to add a splash of color and flavor to your meal, this homemade raspberry coulis is sure to impress.
Rinse the fresh raspberries under cold running water and gently pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the raspberries, granulated sugar, fresh lemon juice, and water.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
Continue to cook the mixture for about 10 minutes, or until the raspberries have broken down and the sugar has completely dissolved.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly for a few minutes.
Carefully pour the mixture into a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
Strain the blended raspberry mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, using a spatula to help push the mixture through. This will remove any seeds and ensure a smooth coulis.
Taste the coulis and adjust sweetness if necessary by adding a little more sugar if desired. Blend again to incorporate.
Transfer the strained coulis to a container and refrigerate until ready to use, or use immediately as a sauce for desserts or savory dishes.
