Sirop pour coulis/Sugar Syrup for Fruit Sauce and Coulis de fraises/Strawberry Sauce

Part II of the Halloween meal: Since the chicken was a fairly rich dish, I decided to keep dessert simple: some ice cream with a strawberry coulis (sauce). I used Lydie’s recipe for making a simple syrup. This is added to fruit to make a sauce. Lydie’s cookbook has recipes for several fruit sauces, such as blackberry or red currant. None of these are in season so I made a strawberry sauce, using frozen whole strawberries, which I pureed. It tasted very refreshing. And, once again, it was simple to make.

So…in total I was able to tick off four more recipes from the cookbook. All in all a successful experience, I think.
