Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 370 g raspberries (fresh or frozen)
- 100 g granulated sugar
- 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, combine the raspberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and salt. Place the pan over medium-low heat to start gently heating the mixture and help the raspberries release their juices.
- Simmer Mixture: Stir the mixture regularly to prevent sticking. Once it begins to bubble, reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Continue cooking for about 8 minutes until the coulis thickens slightly, concentrating the flavors.
- Strain Sauce: Remove the saucepan from heat. Using a fine mesh strainer set over a bowl, pour the raspberry mixture through it. Use a spatula to press the pulp, extracting as much juice as possible while leaving seeds behind for a smooth finish.
- Cool and Store: Let the strained coulis cool to room temperature. Transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use. The coulis can be served cold or at room temperature on desserts or breakfasts.
Notes
- You can use fresh or frozen raspberries according to availability; if frozen, no need to thaw before cooking.
- Adjust sugar quantity based on the sweetness of raspberries and your taste preference.
- The lemon juice balances the sweetness and helps to brighten the flavor.
- Straining the sauce removes seeds for a smooth texture, but if you prefer a chunkier coulis, you can skip this step.
- The coulis will keep well in the refrigerator for up to one week.
