This Rose Raspberry Coulis is a luscious, syrupy sauce made from fresh or frozen raspberries, sugar, and fragrant rose wine. Perfect for drizzling over desserts like ice cream, yogurt, waffles, and cakes, this coulis offers a delicate floral note balanced by the tartness of raspberries. The sauce is simmered to reduce and thicken, then strained to remove seeds, resulting in a smooth, vibrant topping that enhances both flavor and presentation.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces fresh or frozen raspberries
  • 1/4 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1 cup rose wine (or substitute with 1/2 cup water + 2 tablespoons lemon juice)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Berries: Wash fresh raspberries thoroughly or rinse frozen raspberries to remove any ice crystals and allow them to partially thaw for even cooking.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, combine the raspberries, rose wine (or water and lemon juice substitute), and sugar. Stir gently to mix.
  3. Cook the Coulis: Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil while stirring constantly to prevent sticking. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and let it simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce reduces by half and thickens to a syrupy jam-like consistency. Keep an eye on the sauce so it does not burn.
  4. Cool Slightly and Strain: Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the sauce to cool for a few minutes. Then press the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or strainer using a wooden spoon or spatula to separate the seeds from the pulpy sauce. Using a second spoon or spatula, scrape the outside of the strainer to collect as much sauce as possible.
  5. Discard Seeds and Refrigerate: Discard the leftover seeds in the strainer and transfer the smooth coulis to a container. Chill it in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
  6. Serve: Drizzle the rose raspberry coulis over your favorite desserts such as ice cream, yogurt, oatmeal, waffles, or chocolate cake for a floral, fruity boost of flavor.

Notes

  • You can adjust the sugar quantity based on the sweetness of your raspberries or your personal preference.
  • If you prefer a thicker coulis, simmer it a little longer but be careful not to burn it.
  • The wine adds a fragrant depth, but the water and lemon juice substitute makes it alcohol-free and still bright.
  • Store coulis in the refrigerator and consume within 3-4 days for best freshness.
