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
- 1-pound blueberries, about 3 cups
- 1/3 cup sugar, honey, agave or maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.)
- Puree the blueberry mixture until completely smooth using a blender, food processor, or immersion blender.
- Set a fine mesh sieve over a medium bowl. Pour the puree into the sieve and run through with a silicone spatula.
- 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.
