EASY RASPBERRY SAUCE! RASPBERRY COULIS RECIPE! KITCHEN BASICS!

Today we are sharing a "gourmet" kitchen basic! This is the kind of thing that looks super fancy schmancy but in reality is super simple. When you watch your favorite chef cooking on television they whip out that squeeze bottle with raspberry coulis and dress the dessert plate. This is that! Coulis is nothing more than a fancy name for sauce. A puree of fresh fruit that has been sweetened. Today I am unraveling the mystery and giving you the goods on raspberry coulis.

Your friends are going to think they are fine dining when you bring out this delicious sauce. Coulis is a staple of french desserts and it could not be simpler than this! Keep in mind, I am using raspberries, but don't let that limit you! You can make this sauce out of virtually any soft fruit or berry. Raspberries are great, but so are strawberries, blueberries, blackberries and even cranberries. Peaches, plums and nectarines will work great as well.

I have started with 2 cups of fresh raspberries that were washed and patted off with paper towels. I tossed them into my drink blender with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and 1/4 cup of powdered sugar. The sugar will be determined by the sweetness of your fruit. So be sure to taste your fruit first and adjust the sugar levels to your liking.

Blend all of this together until well pureed. Then pour into a fine mesh sieve over a saucepan. Using a spoon to work the mixture back and forth to prevent any seeds from making their way into the sauce. Be sure to scrap the bottom of the sieve to be sure and get every drop of goodness into the pot!

Now you will want to bring this to a rolling boil, over medium high heat, stirring occasionally so the mixture doesn't scorch. When you reach a rolling boil, which is a boil that cannot be stirred down, remove from the heat and allow to cool. Transfer to an airtight container or a squeeze bottle with a seal and refrigerate. You will want to use this within a weeks time before it begins to turn, ferment or oxidize.

So that's how easy it is to make raspberry sauce or if you're being fancy raspberry coulis. This is great to have on hand to mix into cocktails, drizzle over ice cream or dress a plate for chocolate cake! You can use this to amp up your strawberries for shortcake or to blend into a smoothie. Give it a try! I know you will love it!

I hope you give this quick and easy recipe for raspberry sauce a try sometime soon and I hope you love it!

Happy Eating!
