Easy Raspberry Coulis
Description
The Easy Raspberry Coulis recipe begins by dissolving sugar in water or orange juice heated to a simmer, creating a thick syrup. Frozen raspberries are blended with this hot syrup until fully pureed. The mixture is then pressed through a fine-mesh strainer to remove the seeds, leaving a smooth and lightly thickened fruit sauce. Adding a splash of liqueur like Chambord or Grand Marnier imparts a subtle complementary flavor but is optional.
This coulis has a vibrant raspberry taste, balancing natural tartness with sweetness. Its smooth consistency makes it suitable for pouring over cakes, ice cream, or breakfast dishes. The sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week or frozen for several months, offering versatility and convenience.
Ingredients
- ½ sugar
- 3 tablespoons water or orange juice
- 12 ounces raspberries thawed, frozen
- 1 tablespoon Chambord Framboise or Grand Marnier liqueur (optional)
Instructions
- Combine sugar and water (or orange juice) in a 1 cup (or larger) microwave-safe cup or bowl. Stir to combine. The mixture will be very thick.
- Cook in the microwave on high power for two minutes. Stir for 5-10 seconds to ensure that the sugar crystals are dissolved.
- Combine the raspberries and hot syrup in a blender container. Blend until the mixture is smooth and pureed.
- Pour puree through a fine-mesh strainer set over a medium-size bowl. Stir and push on the solids with the back of a rubber spatula until all of the liquid has been extracted. This will take several minutes as the mixture will be thick.
- Discard the seeds. Add the liqueur, if using and stir to combine.
- Store in the refrigerator for 5-7 days or in the freezer for 2-3 months.
Notes
- For best texture, press the puree carefully through the strainer to remove all seeds.
- The coulis can be flavored with Chambord, Framboise, or Grand Marnier for varied fruit notes.
- Store refrigerated for up to 7 days or freeze for 2-3 months to preserve freshness.
