Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh raspberries
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Simmer Berries: In a medium saucepan, combine the raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Heat over medium heat until the mixture starts to simmer, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves and the raspberries break down, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  2. Blend: Remove the pan from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly. Then, transfer it to a blender or use an immersion blender to puree until smooth.
  3. Strain: Pour the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove seeds and create a smooth coulis. Use a spoon or spatula to press the mixture through the sieve. Discard the solids.

Notes

  • Use fresh or frozen raspberries; if using frozen, do not thaw before cooking.
  • Adjust the sugar quantity to taste, depending on the sweetness of the berries.
  • Store the coulis in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • For a more intense flavor, let the coulis chill overnight before serving.
  • Can be used as a sauce for ice cream, cheesecake, pancakes, or cocktails.
