Fresh Raspberry Coulis Recipe

Introduction

Raspberry coulis is a vibrant, sweet-tart sauce that adds a fresh burst of flavor to desserts and breakfast dishes. This simple recipe transforms fresh or frozen raspberries into a smooth, elegant topping in just minutes.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a small saucepan, combine the raspberries and sugar. Heat gently over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the berries break down and the mixture begins to simmer, about 5 minutes.
2. Step 2: Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Then, transfer the mixture to a blender or use an immersion blender to puree until smooth. Strain the puree through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds and achieve a silky texture.

Tips & Variations

• For a thicker coulis, simmer a bit longer to reduce the liquid or add a small amount of cornstarch dissolved in water during cooking.
• Try mixing in other berries like strawberries or blueberries for a mixed berry coulis.
• If you prefer less tartness, adjust the lemon juice and sugar to taste.

Storage

Store raspberry coulis in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat gently or serve chilled depending on your dish. It can also be frozen for up to 2 months; thaw in the refrigerator before use.

FAQs

Can I make raspberry coulis with frozen raspberries?

Yes, frozen raspberries work well for coulis. Thaw them before cooking to help release their juices and reduce cooking time.

Do I have to strain the coulis?

Straining is recommended to remove seeds for a smooth texture, especially if you’re using it as a sauce for delicate desserts, but you can skip this step if you don’t mind the seeds.
