There are always loads of recipes I'd like to try but lose them before I do. This is where I can record recipes I find interesting and keep notes on my experiments with them.

I have a system that I've adopted for working through recipes:

1 - New recipes are saved to the Experimental Mouffette and is labeled : Untested
2 - As I'm working out the changes I'd like to make (if any) it is labeled : Testing
3 - Once I think I've got the correct formula it is labeled : Test 1
4 - IF I am able to reproduce the effect a second time it is labeled : Test 2 - if I am not able to reproduce the effect, it remains Test 1
5 - The same process as step 4 is used to graduate it to Test 3
6 - Once I have been able to reproduce the effect successfully 3 times, it graduates to my main blog, La Mouffette Gourmande

Blackberry Coulis - PUBLISHED


NOTE: I wonder if this works for any kind of fruit or just berries or just blackberries? Also, consider the spice recommendations from Dorothy Hartley for the older blackberries.

1 - I made this just the once and the first go was very good, even with the reduced amount of sugar. I used frozen blackberries and simmered it for 10 minutes to good effect.
2 - This is just the right amount of sweetness. Someone had it for the first time and thought it was just really sweet blackberry.

10oz fresh blackberries
1/4 cup white sugar
juice from ½ lemon
  1. Over medium-low heat, add the blackberries, lemon, and sugar to the saucepan. Stir to mix well.
  2. Bring to a simmer and cook for 3-5 minutes (up to 10 minutes if using frozen fruit to help excess moisture to evaporate).
  3. Either press through a sieve or use a blender to crush the fruit and strain out the juices.
