Ingredients

• 250 grams strawberries
• 50 grams granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons water

Directions

Step 1

Wash and hull the strawberries to remove the green tops. Cut them into halves or quarters if they are large.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the strawberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and water.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture starts to bubble and the strawberries release their juices, approximately 5 minutes.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and simmer for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries are soft and the mixture has thickened slightly.

Step 5

Transfer the cooked mixture to a blender or use an immersion blender to puree the sauce until smooth. Be cautious when blending hot liquids.

Step 6

If you prefer a silky smooth coulis, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove seeds and pulp.

Step 7

Allow the coulis to cool to room temperature, then transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use. The sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Step 8

Serve the strawberry coulis as a topping for ice cream, cheesecake, waffles, or any dessert of your choice.
