Coulis make dream desserts
Coulis are easy to make in a moment and they can transform a boring, ordinary dessert into something special. If you have soft fruit such as raspberries, blackberries, redcurrants and blackcurrants it is very simple to prepare coulis. Coulis just means "strained liquid" and is both singular and plural. You can make savoury coulis with tomatoes and peppers too. Here's how to make coulisWash the fruit and remove the stalks. You don't really need to remove the flower stump from the other end in the case of redcurrants and blackcurrants - they add texture! Put the fruit into a heavy pan and add about half the amount again in sugar - enough to just about cover it over. Warm gently and stir constantly. Try not to break the fruit. When the sugar has dissolved into the fruit juice, take the coulis off the heat and let it cool. Put it into the fridge or somewhere cold to keep. That's it! You can spend time sieving or putting the fruit pulp through a mesh but I think it is not worth the bother for everyday desserts.
Using your coulisUse it with yogurt, ice-cream, meringues or cream.You can also mix it in to yogurt drinks to add flavour. This is one way to use it that does require some straining - unless you like bitty drinks, of course. Keep unused coulis in the fridge or a cool spot. It doesn't keep very long but then it doesn't have to; in our house it just disappears! You can freeze it, too.
