Two clear glass bowls filled with red thick juice, decorated with a raspberry and mint leaf and surrounded with strawberries, raspberries, and round red berries.

A coulis is a form of thick sauce made from puréed fruits and is most often used on desserts. Raspberry coulis, for example, is especially popular with poached apples. There is so much room to be creative with this simple recipe and your favorite fruits.

A wide range of fruits can be used, and the coulis will keep for 3 days in a sealed jar in the fridge, and up to 3 months if frozen.

Use seasonal berries, and served drizzled over tarts, poached fruits, ice cream or panna cotta.

TIP: If the coulis is too thick, stir in a little water.
