Ingredients
Scale
Fruits:
- 2 cups (473 ml) fresh or frozen berries (such as raspberries, strawberries, or blueberries)
Sweeteners:
- 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
Additional Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) lemon juice
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Select ripe, vibrant fruits, thoroughly washing and removing stems or hulls. If using frozen varieties, allow gentle thawing at room temperature.
- Combine fruits with sugar, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and a pinch of salt in a medium saucepan, ensuring even distribution of ingredients.
- Heat the mixture over medium flame for 5-7 minutes, stirring periodically until fruits soften and release natural juices, creating a bubbling, fragrant compote.
- Remove pan from heat and let the mixture cool slightly to prevent potential burning or splattering during blending process.
- Transfer warm fruit mixture into a high-powered blender or food processor, processing until achieving a silky, uniform consistency with no visible fruit chunks.
- Optional refinement: Pour the blended sauce through a fine-mesh strainer, gently pressing with a spatula to extract maximum liquid and eliminate seeds or fibrous remnants.
- Allow coulis to reach room temperature naturally, then decant into a clean glass container with a secure lid.
- Refrigerate the sauce, where it will maintain optimal flavor and texture for approximately 5-7 days.
Notes
- Select ripe, in-season fruits for the most vibrant and intense flavor profile in your coulis.
- Use soft berries like strawberries, raspberries, or blackberries for the best natural sweetness and smooth texture.
- Adjust sugar levels based on fruit’s natural sweetness – taste as you cook to prevent over-sweetening.
- Strain the coulis for a silky-smooth sauce perfect for elegant dessert presentations or delicate plating techniques.
