Ingredients

Instructions

- Place on a medium heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Add the honey and simmer for a further 5 minutes.3 tbsp honey
- Remove the pan from the heat. Using an immersion blender, blitz until smooth. If you are using a standalone blender, leave the mixture to cool slightly before blending.
Notes
- Frozen fruit releases more liquid when it's cooked which is why you need to add less water if you are using frozen redcurrants.
- Fruit coulis is often sieved to remove the seeds. I prefer to keep the seeds in as it's more nutritious, but for a smooth redcurrant coulis you can pass the mixture through a sieve.
- Redcurrant coulis can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days. It also freezes well either in ice cube trays, or in larger portions in an airtight container.
