Fruit coulis are sauces or purées produced by blending fruit and cooking briefly.

Delicious with Christmas pudding or mince pies. Makes a lovely gift.

Lemon curd is so versatile, and can be used in everything from all sorts of pastries, lemon meringue pie, as a filling for sponge cakes, as a quick dessert with fruit and yoghurt, or simply as a preserve on toast. It is quick and easy to make your own at home, and it tastes so much better than the shop-bought variety.

You can store this sauce in sterilised jars in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
