Ingredients
  

  • 12 ounces raspberries (about 3 cups. see note 1)
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar plus more to taste (see note 2)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions
 

  • In a food processor or blender, add raspberries and powdered sugar. Pulse until raspberries are puréed.
  • Set a fine-mesh sieve over a small bowl and pour purée through, pressing on the mixture to extract as much juice as possible. Discard the pulp.
  • Stir in the lemon juice and add more powdered sugar to taste, if desired.

Notes

  1. Raspberries: This Raspberry Coulis begins with 3 cups of fruit, or about 1 ½ pints of fresh raspberries. See “Recipe FAQ” below for the scoop about frozen berries.
  2. Powdered sugar: Since you can always add but can’t take away, start with ¼ cup. Blend, strain, mix with lemon juice and add more powdered sugar to taste.
  3. Yield: This recipe makes 1 cup of Raspberry Coulis, or enough 2-tablespoon servings to jazz up about eight servings of dessert.
  4. Make ahead: Transfer cooled Raspberry Coulis to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to one week.
