Ingredients

  • 12 ounces raspberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 Tablespoons water
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine raspberries, sugar, water, and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook and stir until the raspberries are soft and syrupy.
  2. Transfer to a blender and blend for a few seconds until smooth. Pour through a fine mesh sieve over a bowl, using the back of a spoon to press the liquid through. Discard any seeds that remain.
  3. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 6 months.

Notes

  • Alternatively, you could microwave the water and sugar for 1-2 minutes until the sugar is dissolved into a simple syrup. Then add the syrup and the raspberries (fresh or frozen) to the blender and blend until pureed.
  • If you would like a slightly thicker raspberry sauce, I recommend letting the raspberry coulis simmer on the stove for a few minutes to evaporate some of the liquid content rather than thickening with a cornstarch slurry.
  • I prefer my raspberry coulis not too sugary sweet or it starts to taste a little on the jammy side. If you would like it sweeter, you could go up to 1/2 cup of sugar. It might also depend on the natural sweetness of the raspberries to begin with.
