Raspberry Coulis

Ingredients

  • 400 gr. (14 oz.) raspberries
  • 8 tbsp. water
  • 4 tbsp caster sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • Adjust sugar according to how sweet or tart
  • you want it

Method

1

Place the raspberries in a suitable bowl together with the water and caster sugar. Blend with a hand blender until puréed.

2

Press through a sieve, no need for a very fine one, just one you use for sieving flour. Discard all the seeds.

3

Stir in the lemon juice.

4

Use to accompany your meringue or chocolate desserts. Pour over ice creams.

5

This makes a good amount. Freeze any leftover in an airtight container. I freeze mine in a small glass bowl with an airtight clip-on top.

Strawberry Coulis: Just replace the raspberries with strawberries, but when sieving you will need to use a fine sieve. Again, adjust sugar according to taste, you may need less.
