Raspberry Coulis
This raspberry coulis sauce is a handy trick for any cook who wants an easy way to dress up dessert. Besides adding extra zip to our almond torte, it's good over plain pound cake and turns vanilla ice cream into a cheery sundae. The sauce keeps up to 1 week tightly covered and refrigerated. You can gently reheat over low heat before serving, if you like.
