The Jamie Oliver Raspberry Coulis is a smooth raspberry sauce made by gently heating raspberries with sugar and lemon juice, then blending and straining to remove seeds.

It is typically served cold or slightly chilled as a dessert accompaniment.

Ingredients

Scale

Serves 6 (as sauce)

    • 300 g fresh or frozen raspberries

    • 60–80 g sugar (adjust to taste)

    • 1 tbsp lemon juice

    • 2–3 tbsp water (if needed)

Optional:

    • ½ tsp vanilla extract

    • 1 tsp icing sugar for extra smooth sweetness

Instructions

Step 1: Gently Heat the Raspberries

Place raspberries in a small saucepan over medium-low heat.

Add sugar and lemon juice. Stir gently as the berries begin to break down and release juice. This usually takes 3–5 minutes.

Avoid high heat. Rapid boiling can dull the bright flavour and colour.

Step 2: Simmer Briefly

Allow the mixture to simmer gently for another 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.

The sauce should look glossy and lightly syrupy, not thick like jam. If too thick, add a tablespoon of water.

Step 3: Blend Until Smooth

Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

Blend using a hand blender or countertop blender until completely smooth.

Step 4: Strain for Silkiness

Pour the mixture through a fine sieve, pressing with a spoon to remove seeds.

This step is essential for achieving a smooth, restaurant-style finish.

Step 5: Adjust Consistency

If the coulis feels too thick after cooling, stir in a small splash of water or lemon juice.

It should pour easily from a spoon but not be watery.
