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

Scale

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.

I often cook "au pif," as we say in France, which means cooking without an exact recipe and by "feel" using your intuition.  You’ll find guidelines in many recipes versus exact quantities.  Write to me here if you have any questions about the recipes.

  • A Real Game Changer

    "We have made a lot of progress over here under your care. We are now all eating from the same “pot” which I was surprised how much my kids loved. They were so excited when I put the food in the middle of the table. They asked for it the next day, Can we do that special fancy dinner thing where we have a feast? It really is such a better ritual—passing the food around and all sharing from the same platter, a real game changer."

    “I don't know if I told you, but I accidentally lost about 8 lbs after cutting out most semi-processed foods!"
