Easy Raspberry Coulis

This Easy Raspberry Coulis is a smooth sauce made by blending thawed raspberries with a hot sugar and water syrup, then straining out the seeds. It can be flavored optionally with a fruity liqueur like Chambord. The coulis offers a sweet, slightly tart raspberry flavor with a velvety texture, ideal for drizzling over desserts or mixing into other dishes.

Ingredients

  • ½ sugar
  • 3 tablespoons water or orange juice
  • 12 ounces raspberries thawed, frozen
  • 1 tablespoon Chambord Framboise or Grand Marnier liqueur (optional)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. 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.
  2. Cook in the microwave on high power for two minutes. Stir for 5-10 seconds to ensure that the sugar crystals are dissolved.
  3. Combine the raspberries and hot syrup in a blender container. Blend until the mixture is smooth and pureed.
  4. 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.
  5. Discard the seeds. Add the liqueur, if using and stir to combine.
  6. 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.
