Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 pound strawberries, fresh or frozen
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberries: Remove the green tops from the strawberries (hull them) and cut them into quarters or smaller, depending on their size.
- Cook the Mixture: Place the strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a medium saucepan. Set the pan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Dissolve the Sugar: Stir the mixture regularly to ensure the sugar fully dissolves as the strawberries cook.
- Simmer Until Softened: Allow the mixture to simmer for about 10 minutes or until the strawberries have softened. The mixture will become liquidy as the strawberries release their juices and the sugar dissolves.
- Blend the Coulis: Remove any lemon rind if present. Then, use an immersion blender to puree the mixture until smooth.
- Adjust Consistency: If the coulis is too thick, add a spoonful or two of water to reach your desired consistency.
- Strain (Optional): Pass the mixture through a fine sieve for an extra smooth coulis. Otherwise, use it as is.
- Storage: Refrigerate the coulis and use it within 4 days, or freeze it for later use.
