A coulis is basically just a fancy name for a puree, typically it's made from a fruit base with sugar to sweeten and often lemon or orange juice to provide the acidity to prevent discolouration. Once you've made a coulis from one soft fruit you can basically make one with any other.

Ingredients:

300g fresh (or frozen) raspberries
juice of 1 lime (or lemon)
1 tbsp icing sugar (plus extra to taste, if desired)

Method:

Add the raspberries and the lime juice to a saucepan and slowly heat. Sprinkle the sugar on top and stir to dissolve. Bring the mixture to a simmer, mashing the fruit with the back of a spoon.

Take off the heat and pour into a sieve. Push the fruit through, collecting the liquid. Discard the pulp then taste then taste the liquid and adjust the sugar, if needed. Remember, however, that a coulis should be tart, to contrast with the generally sweet confection it's served with.
