Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh raspberries
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- Cook Raspberries: In a medium saucepan, combine the fresh raspberries and granulated sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries break down and release their juices, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add Lemon Juice: Stir in the fresh lemon juice to brighten the flavor and balance the sweetness.
- Blend Raspberries: Remove the saucepan from heat and carefully transfer the mixture to a blender. Blend until smooth and fully combined.
- Strain the Coulis: Pour the blended raspberry mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl, using a spoon to press the mixture and extract as much liquid as possible, leaving the seeds behind.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the raspberry coulis to cool to room temperature before serving. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Notes
- For a thicker coulis, reduce the raspberry mixture longer during cooking.
- Adjust sugar quantity based on the sweetness of the raspberries and personal preference.
- This coulis can be served warm or chilled.
- Use fresh or frozen raspberries; if frozen, thaw before cooking.
- Perfect for topping cakes, ice cream, yogurt, pancakes, or as a mix-in for drinks.
