The blackberry coulis is another popular type of coulis used in the culinary world.

It also involves the cooking of blackberries, lemon juice, and sugar. However, this coulis will take on the dark red color of the blackberry as all coulis do.

What Is A Sauce Coulis?

Coulis has not always been used to refer to purees. Instead, the word has evolved to mean different things at different points in time.

The word originated from France, and the French vocabulary was couler, which means “to strain” or “to flow”. Its adjective form, coleis, means straining, pouring, or flowing.

The word also has a similar Latin root to the word “Colander”.

Originally, coulis was used to refer to the juices from cooked meat.

Then after some time, it evolved to being used to refer to thick sauce or soup make from pureed fish, meat, or game.

But with time, these types of soup fell out of fashion, and as a result, the term coulis was then used to refer to shellfish soups that have been pureed.

Coulis has been used as plate decoration, and as a form of complementary flavor for both meat and vegetable dishes.

They are also used to garnish a soup, sauce a dish, and used as a soup base. Coulis made from fruits, especially berries, are ideal for dessert toppings. These sauces are usually strained using chinois strainers and as a result, are usually very smooth.

Ingredients Used for Making Blackberry Sauce

Fresh Blackberry

Of course, this is the most important ingredient that you will need to make a blackberry coulis.

When choosing the ideal blackberry for this coulis, it is important to consider the health of the fruit.

The blackberries must be fresh, clean and free from any defect. You should remember that the quality of the blackberries will affect the quality of the coulis made.

Sugar

Lemon Juice

The lemon juice will help to freshen the fruit and will allow the flavors to pop.

Can I Use Frozen Blackberries?

This will ensure that you have a thick sauce.
