  • Remove the lid, discard the spice bouquet.

Puree the coulis

  • Carefully transfer the hot berries and juice to a blender and puree. Meanwhile, quickly rinse out the pan and dry it. Drizzle in the coconut oil as the mixture purees.

Taste and correct the seasoning

  • Taste and adjust the seasoning until it tastes good to you, adding a few gratings of lemon zest, a tiny splash of vanilla extract or almond extract, and a tiny pinch of cinnamon.
  • If the sauce seems loose you can simmer it for a few more minutes, just make sure to whisk it to prevent splattering.
  • Strain the sauce while it’s still warm through a fine mesh sieve, pressing down with a spoon to pass it through the mesh.
  • Transfer the sauce to a pint mason jar, label, date, and refrigerate until needed. The blueberry coulis will last for a week in the fridge.
