Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams fresh or frozen raspberries or strawberries
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Wash the raspberries or strawberries thoroughly. If using strawberries, hull them by removing the green tops and slice them into halves or quarters for easier blending.
In a medium saucepan, combine the fruit, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and water.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook gently for about 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the fruit has softened and released its juices.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly for 5 minutes.
Transfer the mixture to a blender or use an immersion blender to puree the fruit until completely smooth.
For a silky texture, pour the pureed mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing it with the back of a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the seeds or pulp left behind.
Taste the coulis and adjust the sweetness or tartness, adding a little more sugar or lemon juice as desired.
Let the coulis cool completely before serving or storing. It can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Serve the coulis drizzled over cheesecake, ice cream, pancakes, waffles, or as a filling for crepes.
