Mixed Berry Coulis

7/5/2023

0 Comments

 
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
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Add the remaining 1/2 cup raspberries, 1/2 cup sliced strawberries, and 1/4 cup blueberries, and simmer until the sauce is hot.
  5. Serve hot or cold and enjoy.​
  6. 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.

2 tablespoons finely grated lemon zest
2½ cups heavy cream, chilled
1 cup lemon curd, divided

1½ cups blueberry jam or all fruit spread

  3. Reduce the speed to low and gradually add the heavy cream.
  4. Increase the speed to medium as the mixture thickens and continue to beat until medium soft peaks form.
  5. Remove 1½ cups of the lemon cream mixture, cover and set it aside in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
  6. Loosen the lemon curd consistency in the microwave, about 30 to 40 seconds. Don’t let it get hot. Then fold it into the lemon cream mixture.
  7. Place a single layer of graham crackers in the lined loaf pan, breaking them as needed.
  8. Using a small soft spatula, evenly spread the about ¼ to ⅓ of the remaining lemon cream mixture over the crackers.
  9. Loosen the consistency of the jam or fruit spread in the microwave, again it should not be hot.
  10. Gently and evenly spread ½ cup of the jam over the first layer of lemon cream mixture in the loaf pan.
  11. Drizzle ¼ cup of the consistency loosened lemon curd on top.
  12. Add another ½ to ⅓ cup of the lemon cream mixture on top of the last layer.
  13. Add another layer of graham crackers as before.
  14. Repeat the layering process with the ½ remaining lemon cream, jam and lemon curd. Finish with a last layer of lemon cream topping it with a final layer of graham crackers.
  15. Cover and freeze for at least 6 hours.
  16. Cover and chill the remaining jam until ready to serve.
  17. Before serving, place hot water in a roasting pan. Place the loaf pan in the water for 2 to 3 minutes to help loosed and unmold the cake. Remove to a dish cloth.
  18. Place a serving dish face down on the loaf and carefully invert the two. Remove the loaf pan and the plastic wrap.
  19. Coat the top and sides of the cake using the reserved 1½ cups of yogurt mixture. Return the cake, serving dish and all to the freezer for at least 15 minutes.
  20. Immediately before serving, microwave the remaining jam just to the point of be pourable but not hot. Sprinkle a generous amount of fresh blueberries across the top of the cake, then drizzle with the remaining jam.
  21. Slice as you would a pound cake and serve with more fresh blueberries.

Picture
-Adapted from Missy Robbins,  Food & Wine
​Serves: 2
 
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
⅔ cup farro
1⅔ - ¾ cup boiling water
½ cup frozen mixed berries, defrosted
1 tablespoon honey
½ cup fat-free Greek yogurt
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons crushed or slightly chopped pistachios
 
  1. Melt the butter in a small sauce pan.
  2. Add the farro, tossing lightly to coat the grains, and cook for about 2 minutes.
  3. Add just enough of the hot water to almost cover the grains and continue to cook while stirring.  As the water is absorbed, continue to add boiling water, ½ cup at a time, while stirring.
  4. Continue cooking until the water is almost, but not completely, absorbed.  The grains should still move freely amongst themselves.
  5. Cover the pan and allow the farro to simmer over low heat until it is al dente.  About 10 minutes.
  6. Meanwhile, in a 2 cup measuring cup, place the fruit and the honey, mix gently.  Microwave for 30 seconds, mix again and microwave again for an additional 20 to 30 seconds.  You want the fruit to begin to meld with the honey and itself.
  7. In a small prep bowl, mix the yogurt and the cinnamon.
  8. When the farro is ready, add the yogurt and spice to the farro and mix.
  9. Divide the farro into two serving bowls, spoon the fruit over the top and sprinkle with the pistachios.  Serve while warm.
