Ingredients

  • 1 package (6 ounces) fresh raspberries
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions

  • Add the raspberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest to a medium saucepan. Using a fork or pastry blender, mash the berries until they begin to release their juices.
  • Set the pan over medium heat and bring the sauce to a simmer. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the sugar has dissolved and the berries have broken down.
  • Place a fine mesh strainer over a heatproof bowl and pour the raspberry coulis through the sieve. Use a spoon to gently stir the sauce and force it through the sieve. Discard the seeds.
  • Allow the sauce to cool completely before enjoying.
