A simple and delicious Raspberry Coulis made with fresh or frozen raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice. This coulis is perfect as a fresh, fruity sauce to drizzle over desserts or breakfast dishes. It is lightly sweetened and can be served either cold or warm, providing a vibrant and tangy burst of flavor.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 250g / 8 oz raspberries, fresh or frozen (no need to thaw)
  • 2 1/2 tbsp caster sugar (superfine sugar) – or regular/granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Heat and mash: Place the raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a small saucepan over medium heat. As the mixture heats, the raspberries will release their liquid. Once the liquid starts to simmer and the raspberries have softened, mash them thoroughly with a fork to break down the fruit.
  2. Simmer: Continue simmering the raspberry mixture for 3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the coulis to thicken slightly.
  3. Puree: Using a stick blender, puree the mixture directly in the saucepan if the blender head is submerged, or transfer the mixture to a jug to blend until smooth.
  4. Strain: Pour the blended mixture through a fine sieve into a bowl, pressing with a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible while discarding the seeds for a smooth coulis.
  5. Cool and store: Let the coulis cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate until needed. It will thicken as it chills. If the coulis becomes too thick, thin it with a little water before serving.
  6. Serve: The coulis is typically served cold but can also be gently warmed depending on your preference or the dish it accompanies.

Notes

  • Sweetness: This recipe uses less sugar than many traditional coulis recipes to emphasize the natural tartness of the raspberries. Feel free to adjust the sugar amount up to three times more if you prefer a sweeter sauce.
  • Storage: Keep the raspberry coulis refrigerated for up to one week or freeze it for up to three months for longer storage.
