Instructions
- Cook the strawberries – In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Stir occasionally and cook for 5-7 minutes, until the strawberries soften and release their juices.
- Blend for smoothness – Remove from heat and blend the mixture using an immersion blender directly in the saucepan, or transfer to a blender and process until smooth.
- Strain for extra smoothness (optional) – If you prefer a silky coulis, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing with a spoon to remove seeds and pulp.
- Adjust consistency – If too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of water and stir to combine. If too thin, return to the saucepan and simmer for 1-2 minutes until slightly thickened. Optional: for a thicker sauce – simmer longer or add a cornstarch slurry (½ tsp cornstarch + 1 tsp water).
- Cool & store – Let the coulis cool to room temperature before using. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week, or freeze for longer storage.
Notes
- Use Ripe Strawberries – The sweeter the berries, the better the flavor! If they’re a bit tart, adjust sugar to taste.
- Strain for Extra Smoothness – For a silky coulis, press it through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds and pulp. This is optional!
- Balance the Sweetness – Taste and adjust the sugar or lemon juice to get the perfect sweet-tart balance.
- Don’t Overcook – Simmer just until the strawberries soften; overcooking can dull the fresh flavor.
- Chill for Best Texture – Let the coulis cool completely before serving for a thick, glossy finish.
