Blackcurrant Coulis

Makes approximately 400ml

If using frozen blackcurrants

400g blackcurrants
100g to 150g icing sugar (to your taste)

Blend blackcurrants and sugar together in a blender. Sieve to remove pips and serve.

The juice of an orange can be added to the coulis to give it a zing.

If using fresh blackcurrants

400g fresh blackcurrants

Juice of one orange

100g to 150g icing sugar (to your taste)

Strip and rinse fresh blackcurrants.  Put in pan with orange juice and gently cook for 10 minutes.  Pour into a blender or food processor with the icing sugar and blend until smooth.  Sieve to remove pips and cool.

Redcurrant coulis is equally as delicious: just substitute redcurrants for the blackcurrants.
