Bake Fest Friday -Something Sweet for the Weekend by Cherry Menlove

How to Make Raspberry Coulis – the most delicious summertime sauce

In a wee departure to our usual bake fest this week I’m showcasing a sweet sauce that you can put with just about anything. Raspberry coulis is a good thing to know how to make. It can be rustled up in a jiffy turning left-over fruits into something divine and goes well with all sorts of sweet treats from chocolate to meringue.

It can also be used to rescue something that has not turned out the way you wanted it to.

See that slice of coconut cake at the top?

That cake didn’t work out too well for us. It was far too sweet.

However, when we added the coulis it got a whole lot better. The tartness of the raspberries coupled with the lemon juice worked wonders with the coconut in the cake and made it so much more edible. If we had served cream or ice-cream with the cake I just know it would have been too sweet for most people & would have been something I would have simply scraped onto a plate and given to Robert the Husband.
