Description

Blueberry coulis is a traditional strained fruit sauce made with nothing more than blueberries, lemon juice, a splash of water, and a little sugar or honey. It is a delicious homemade blueberry sauce to spoon over ice cream or pancakes or to pair with a cheese board.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1-pound blueberries, about 3 cups
  • 1/3 cup sugar, honey, agave or maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons water

Instructions

  1. Stir blueberries, sugar (or other sweetener), lemon juice, and water in a medium saucepan. Place over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture boils and the blueberries start to burst 6 to 9 minutes. 
  2. Remove from the heat and let cool. (Transfer to a metal bowl and set in the fridge, or submerge the saucepan in an ice bath to speed up this process.)
  3. Puree the blueberry mixture until completely smooth using a blender, food processor, or immersion blender.
  4. Set a fine mesh sieve over a medium bowl. Pour the puree into the sieve and run through with a silicone spatula. 
  5. Transfer to a jar and chill. Serve cold or at room temperature.

Notes

Ingredient Note: Frozen blueberries work great too, just make sure to stir them well. They will take a little longer to come to a simmer.

Tip: Classic coulis is strained through a fine sieve, but it can be enjoyed without straining. This is especially true if the mixture is pureed with a high powered blender or Vitamix. It will have a rustic or granular texture. 

Make Ahead: Store in the refrigerator in a clean jar or airtight container up to 10 days. Can be frozen up to 3 months.
