Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Fresh strawberries
- 150 grams Fresh or frozen cranberries
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 60 ml Water
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
Hull and quarter the strawberries, and rinse the cranberries under cold water.
In a medium saucepan, combine the strawberries, cranberries, granulated sugar, and water.
Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 10-12 minutes, or until the cranberries burst and the strawberries soften.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the fresh lemon juice and vanilla extract, if using.
Allow the mixture to cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to a blender or use an immersion blender to puree until smooth.
For a silky coulis, pass the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl, using the back of a spoon to press the puree through and discard any solids.
Let the coulis cool completely. Serve immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to one week.
