Berry coulis

Ingredients:

• 350 g fresh raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, or strawberries, or a mixture of these (if using strawberries, hull and quarter)
• 0.5 cups of sugar
• 1 tbsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice
• A pinch of coarse salt

Preparation:

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the berries, sugar, lemon juice, salt, and 1 tablespoon of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the berries begin to release their juices, 1–2 minutes. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the berries are tender, 4–5 minutes. Let cool slightly.
2. Transfer to a blender and blend until smooth. Strain the coulis through a fine sieve, pressing down on the berries to extract as much sauce as possible. Serve cold or at room temperature.
