This month has been a whirlwind between school starting and dance/clubs/after school activities beginning. Below are three recipes for a simple fruit coulis, whipped cream, and glaze that you can use to customize future recipes on this blog or recipes from other sites.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fruit Coulis: A coulis is a pureed fruit sauce that is delicious on ice cream and waffles.
*A coulis can be made with any fruit you'd like, such as peaches or raspberries.
1. Put your chosen fruit into a pot with a splash of juice/water and turn the heat up to medium low. Once the fruit looks soft and mushy add a tablespoon of white sugar into the pot and stir it in.
2. Once the sugar is stirred in and the fruit is mushy and soft pour the fruit into a blender and puree the compote until the compote forms a thick silky sauce. If you don't want seeds in your sauce strain the puree until all seeds have fled the sauce.

Whipped Cream: You can jazz up your whipped cream by adding an exciting extract or a citrus zest. You also can add a couple of drops of your fruit coulis to make a fruity whipped cream.
1. Put 1 cup of heavy cream, 1 tablespoon of white sugar, and 1 tablespoon of extract into a bowl and begin to mix it using a electric hand mixer/stand mixer. Once the cream forms peaks stop mixing and place in the fridge until ready to use.

Glaze: You can jazz up your glaze by substituting water with juice.
1. Mix juice/water and powdered sugar until you start to form a semi-thick silky sauce.
