Equipment
- Saucepan
- fine mesh strainer
- Bowl
Ingredients
- 2 cups blueberries 1 pint, fresh or frozen
- 2 tbs sugar up to 4 tablespoons depending in taste
- 2 tbs lemon juice juice from ½ lemon
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, simmer the berries, sugar, and lemon juice over medium heat until they are bursting and have dissolved, about 5-10 minutes. The longer you boil it the thicker sauce it will be. I recommend trying a bit of sauce after a few minutes to see if it needs more sugar.
- Let the mixture cool for a few minutes.
- Using a regular or immersion blender, blend the mixture until smooth.
- If you like a slightly thicker, more textured sauce you can leave it as is.
- Otherwise, strain the coulis using a fine mesh strainer for a super smooth coulis.
- If you want a thinner sauce, you can add a bit more lemon juice, water or flavored liquor to thin it out to your desired consistency.
- Enjoy on your favorite dessert!
Notes
- The amount of sugar needed will vary depending on the sweetness of the berries and personal preference. I recommend starting with two tablespoons and adding more to taste (typically up to 4 tablespoons).
- You can substitute honey, agave, maple syrup or brown sugar for granulated sugar.
- This recipe makes about a cup of blueberry coulis. It can be doubled or halved as needed.
- This sauce will last about a week in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- It can also be frozen for up to two months.
