Cherry Coulis
Description
This cherry coulis recipe begins by simmering pitted and halved cherries with water, sugar, and lemon juice until the fruit softens. The cooking process intensifies the cherry flavor and allows the sugar to dissolve, balancing natural tartness. Pureeing the cooked mixture creates a thick yet pourable consistency, while straining removes solids for a smooth finish.
The coulis’ vibrant red color and fresh cherry taste make it suitable for drizzling over cakes, ice cream, pancakes, or yogurt. Its bright acidity provided by lemon juice lends brightness that can also complement savory dishes or cocktails.
Stored in the refrigerator covered for up to three days, this coulis can be prepared ahead and used to add fresh fruit flavor to a variety of dishes.
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cherry pitted and halved
- ¼ cup water
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
Instructions
- Place pitted and halved cherries into a small sauce pan with water, sugar and lemon juice. Bring mixture to a boil over medium heat. Cook until cherries are soft (about 5 minutes).
- Remove cherries from the heat, transfer to a blender or food processor and purée, scraping down the sides if needed. Strain through a fine meshed strainer to ensure a smooth sauce. Refrigerate the coulis covered for up to 3 days.
