Makes 1 cup

Use a flexible rubber spatula to push the pulp through
a sieve. Continue to press until all that remains is a tablespoon
of stiff, clumped-together seeds. Vibrantly colored and intensely
flavored, raspberry coulis is great over fresh fruit, cake, ice
cream, or cheesecake.

1 pint raspberries

3 Tbs. sugar

2 tsp. strained fresh lemon juice

Purée all ingredients in a blender or food
processor. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing firmly with
a rubber spatula. Stir in a little more sugar or lemon juice, to
taste, if needed. Serve at once, either at room temperature or chilled,
or cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
