Raspberry Coulis Recipe

• 200g Fresh Raspberries
• 1 Tablespoon Icing Sugar

Raspberry Coulis Method

• Put the raspberries into a sauce pan, and add the icing sugar and stir well so the sugar coats the raspberries.
• Put the raspberries onto the stove, and heat through for a few minutes until the raspberries break down and release their juices.
• Remove from the heat, and blend with a hand blender. Be very careful when doing this, you want to get a puree like consistency, if you over blend it you will break down the seeds too much and this will discolour the coulis.
• Pass the mixture through a fine sieve to remove the seeds then allow to chill in the fridge.
