Raspberry Coulis

Raspberry Coulis

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup sugar

  • 3 tablespoons water or orange juice

  • 12 ounces frozen raspberries thawed

  • 1 tablespoon Chambord Framboise or Grand Marnier liqueur (optional)

Directions

  • Combine sugar and water (or orange juice) in a 1 cup (or larger) microwave-safe cup or bowl. Stir to combine. The mixture will be very thick.
  • Cook in the microwave on high power for two minutes. Stir for 5-10 seconds to ensure that the sugar crystals are dissolved.
  • Combine frozen raspberries and hot syrup in a blender container. Blend until the mixture is smooth and pureed.
  • Pour puree through a fine-mesh strainer set over a medium-size bowl. Stir and push on the solids with the back of a rubber spatula until all of the liquid has been extracted. This will take several minutes as the mixture will be thick.
  • Discard the seeds. Add the liqueur, if using and stir to combine.
