How to Make Raspberry Coulis
Although you can purchase a pre-made fruit sauce for convenience, a homemade coulis is easier to make than you might think and adds a burst of fresh, tangy flavor. Here's how to make it:
    1. Start with Fresh Raspberries: Take 6 ounces of fresh raspberries and place them in a saucepan over medium-low heat.
    1. Add Sweetness and Zest: Mix in 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice.
    1. Stir and Simmer: Heat the mixture, stirring gently, until the sugar dissolves completely. This should take about 5 minutes.
    1. Blend to Perfection: After removing from heat, transfer the raspberry mixture into a blender. Puree until smooth.
    1. Strain for Smoothness: To get rid of the seeds, pour the pureed mixture through a fine sieve into a bowl. You might need to press down on the mixture to extract as much liquid as possible.
    1. Ready to Use: The coulis is now ready! This quantity is enough for about 3 to 4 servings. Use some in this knickerbocker glory and save the rest to add to cream scones, pancakes, biscuits, or to top a chocolate lava cake.
