Mixed Berry Coulis

7/5/2023

Whether you have a bounty of berries from the market or some that are beginning to soften, making a fruit sauce, also called coulis (pronounced koo-LEE), is an ideal way to use them up. It's also a great way to freeze and then enjoy the fresh flavored sauce in the off season months.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups raspberries, divided
1 1/2 cups strawberries, sliced, divided
1 cup blueberries, divided
3/4 to 1 cup sugar, to taste
1 to 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Preparation

In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of the raspberries, 1 cup of the sliced strawberries, 3/4 cup of the blueberries, 3/4 cup of the sugar, and 1 tablespoon of the fresh lemon juice.
Bring to a simmer over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved, about 10 minutes. Adjust the sweetness, adding up to 1/4 cup more (or to taste) of sugar if necessary, and cook until dissolved.
Puree the berry mixture in a blender or food processor, return to the saucepan, and bring to a simmer. Add an additional 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, or to taste, if necessary.
Add the remaining 1/2 cup raspberries, 1/2 cup sliced strawberries, and 1/4 cup blueberries, and simmer until the sauce is hot.
Serve hot or cold and enjoy.
Homemade fruit sauce should be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container and will keep for 5 to 7 days; for longer storage, place in the freezer and defrost before using.
