Raspberry Coulis
Raspberry Coulis
This is the raspberry twist on blueberry coulis — an elegant yet incredibly simple sauce to make. Serve it over crêpes or yogurt, or use it to elevate a dessert like panna cotta. You'll find more tips and serving suggestions after the recipe.
Ingredients
Pint of raspberries
1 orange
Sugar - to taste, optional
Instructions
Put the raspberries, the juice of one orange, and a bit of sugar in a saucepan.
Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries start to break down and release their juices, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
Serve as is, or for a smooth sauce, blend and push the coulis through a fine mesh sieve to remove the seeds.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Serving Ideas:
- Drizzle over crêpes or waffles.
- Serve with gelato or homemade whipped cream for an elegant dessert.
- Swirl into yogurt for breakfast, a kids' snack, or an easy third course.
- Serve over panna cotta for a special touch.
- Serve raspberry coulis over homemade ricotta — or with yogurt or fromage blanc.
Notes:
Depending on the sweetness of the raspberries, you can skip the sugar. I usually add about a teaspoon of sugar to enhance the flavor and slightly thicken the juice a bit.
Freeze summer raspberries so you can enjoy coulis all winter long.
You can also freeze the coulis itself so it's ready to thaw and serve.
