Blackberry Coulis Recipes

Steps:

• Put the blackberries and sugar into a small pan with 100ml/31⁄2fl oz water. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 5 mins until the fruit is soft. Stir in the vanilla, remove and cool a little.
• Tip the contents of the pan into a blender or food processor, and whizz to a purée, then strain through a sieve, rubbing it through with the back of a ladle or spoon. Serve warm or chilled. Keeps in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.

Steps:

• Rinse and drain blackberries. Place into a bowl. Add sugar and mix well. Let sit for 30 minutes to allow sugar to draw out blackberry juice.
• Mix in lemon juice and begin to mash berries. Mash by hand with a fork or potato ricer, or puree in a food processor. If desired, strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds. Serve warm or cold.

Steps:

• Combine blackberries, sugar, and lemon juice in the bowl of a small food processor. Blend until smooth and sugar has dissolved, 15 to 20 seconds. Adjust sugar if desired, and blend again.
• Strain mixture using a fine mesh strainer to remove seeds. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Steps:

• Combine the blueberries and vanilla sugar in a large heavy saucepan. Add 1 cup water and the lemon juice and bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the mixture begins to thicken.
• Remove from the heat and strain through a fine sieve. Cool to room temperature, cover and refrigerate.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Brush 9-inch-diameter springform pan with margarine; line bottom with parchment. Stir 1 2/3 cups chocolate chips and 3/4 cup margarine in medium saucepan over low heat until smooth. Whisk in cocoa and espresso. Cool 10 minutes.
• Using electric mixer, beat eggs and sugar in large bowl on high speed until thick, about 6 minutes. Fold in chocolate mixture. Pour batter into prepared pan.
• Bake torte until dry and cracked on top and tester inserted into center comes out with some moist batter attached, about 42 minutes. Cool in pan on rack 1 hour (center will fall). Using spatula, press raised edges so top is level. Cut around pan sides; remove sides. Place plate atop torte and invert onto plate. Remove pan bottom; peel off paper, and cool torte completely.
• Stir remaining 1 cup (6 ounces) chocolate and 1/4 cup margarine in small saucepan over low heat until smooth (do not overheat). Whisk in 2 tablespoons blackberry coulis. Cool glaze 15 minutes. Pour glaze into center of torte. Smooth top with spatula, allowing some of glaze to drip down sides. Refrigerate uncovered until glaze is set, about 1 hour. (Can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and keep refrigerated.)
• Cut torte into wedges; spoon coulis alongside. Garnish with mint and berries, if desired.

• You can also use raspberries, blueberries, your favorite fruit or whatever you want.
• Coulis aux Framboises Directions.
• This is a basic Coulis recipe that I like to use in place of maple syrup.
• Combine berries, sugar, and liqueur in a small non-reactive saucepan, and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Let cook until syrupy and reduced by half, about 10 - 15 minutes.
• If you don't have an immersion blender (aka boat motor, stick blender) to purée in the saucepan you will have to transfer mixture to a blender or food processor, and purée until smooth.
• Strain through a fine mesh sieve, pushing on the mixture with a rubber spatula, and discard seeds.
• Drizzle on top of you buttered pancakes in place of syrup. If you have some left over, set aside to cool and refrigerate up to one week.
• This Coulis is also great over French Vanilla Ice Cream, Ice Box Cake, Chocolate Cake or many other dishes. Use your Imagination and Have Fun.
• Tips: * Granulated sugar can be used but I find it gives a grainer texture.You can make superfine sugar using your blender or food processor).
• * Most of the alcohol evaporates during the cooking process, but if you are concerned you can leave out the liquor and replace with a berry juice or just use maple syrup for the kids.

Steps:

• Blend all ingredients in food processor about 3 minutes. Strain to remove pulp. Refrigerate.
