Cranberry Coulis

5 from 1 vote

You won't believe the flavor of this super simple cranberry coulis. It is sweet, tart and super smooth with a perfect drizz-able consistency. We love it over a vanilla cake, but amazing in oatmeal, over yogurt and so much more. Great recipe to use up your extra fresh cranberries and 100% plant-based.

Equipment

fine-mesh colander

Ingredients

2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
1 Navel orange zested and juiced
¼-⅓ cup maple syrup (or brown sugar) or more if needed
½ cup water
½ tsp vanilla extract
¼ tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

Add the cranberries, orange juice, orange zest, vanilla, cinnamon, sweetener and water to a medium pot. Stir, turn on the heat to medium and bring to a simmer.
Let the sauce simmer for about 10-15 minutes while stirring often. The cranberries will "pop" and the sauce will become thicker and bright red. Remove from the heat and let it cool down for a few minutes.
Place a fine-mesh colander over a large bowl and then pour the thick sauce over. Use the back of a spoon or a spatula to press on the sauce and help the coulis strain in the bowl. This might take about 5 minutes or so.
Taste the coulis and adjust sweetness to your taste. Also, if the coulis is too thick, add a splash of water to loosen it up.
