½ quantity Sugar syrup, without the cocoa powder (see opposite)

250g/8oz of any of the following: raspberries, blackberries, blueberries or strawberries, washed and prepared, or 1 large ripe mango or papaya, peeled, deseeded and chopped

1–2 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice (optional)

Each coulis makes approx. 550ml/18fl oz

Make the syrup as described opposite and, once the syrup has cooked, add your chosen fruit to it before it cools.

Once cold, transfer to a blender or food processor and blend for a few seconds until smooth. Strain through a nylon sieve to make a smooth sauce. If the sauce is too sweet, add lemon juice to sharpen. Cover and chill until required.

You can try adding extra flavourings to your chosen coulis, such as finely grated citrus rind, vanilla extract or rosewater.
