Berry Coulis (Sauce)



Ingredients
·         3 cups fresh, canned or frozen berries (one kind or mixed it doesn't matter. Here I used half strawberries       
      half blue berries)
·         3/4 to 1 cup sugar
·         1 to 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

Directions

        Makes About 2 Cups
               Combine the blueberries, 3/4 cup of the sugar, and one tablespoon of the lemon juice in a jug or bowl and blend it well add the mixture to a saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. simmer until the sugar has dissolved, about 10 minutes. 

 Taste the mixture and, if necessary, add more sugar. Continue to heat until any additional sugar is 
       dissolved. 
Strain the coulis through a fine-mesh sieve.
Store in a jars in the fridge and take it out to serve with cheese or fruit or yogurt. You can even use it to
       decorate your dessert plates....

Here are some good  ideas  of how to use on a plate
Simply paint it on the plate with a pastry brush
Simply drizzle on a plate in a circular motion
Put a nice tablespoonful on the plate to form a
circular puddle then with the tip of the spoon
form it into a tear drop shape.
 This takes some practice so do a few before
your friends arrive
