🥣 How to make raspberry glaze

First, for the homemade raspberry sauce, combine the raspberries, cornstarch, and lemon juice in a small saucepan. Cook over low to medium heat, until the raspberry juice starts to release. Stir occasionally, smashing the berries against the side to break them up.

Created famous French chef Auguste Escoffier for Dame Nellie Melba, this sauce is a combination of puréed, strained fresh raspberries, red currant jelly, sugar and cornstarch. It's the topping for the dessert peach melba - a dish that consists of a poached peach, vanilla ice cream and melba sauce.

According to Jerry Bowman, executive director of the Flavor & Extract Manufacturers Association of the United States, the flavor profile of raspberry was actually developed using "mostly esters of the banana, cherry, and pineapple variety."

A BASE GLAZE is a mixture of these three basic groups: SILICA, FLUX AND ALUMINA.

Glazes need a balance of the 3 main ingredients: Silica, Alumina and Flux. Too much flux causes a glaze to run, and tends to create variable texture on the surface. The texture may vary from shiny, where the glass is balanced, to matte where the excessive flux oxides may form visible, possibly lumpy, crystals.

Coulis (pronounced koo-LEE) is French for a thick sauce that's made from puréed and strained vegetables or fruits. The original, classical use of the term was a meat sauce that was reduced three times.

One of the easiest ways to ensure your raspberries don't get too mushy too soon is to store them properly. "Put your raspberries in the refrigerator as soon as you get home," says Boco*ck. "Keep them there until you're ready to eat them." Do not wash the berries until you're ready to enjoy them.

The US Food and Drug Administration, the US Department of Agriculture and other scientists agree: use a cold water soak with baking soda to effectively help remove dirt, chemical residue, and other unwanted materials from your fresh vegetables and fruits.

Something that distinguishes coulis from other sauces is that the purée is not cooked. You might cook the fruit first, if it's necessary to soften it, but once it's soft you add optional ingredients, purée, strain and you're done.

Puree vs coulis

While fruit compote can be thought of as being similar to fruit coulis, a coulis is usually cooked for a while longer to make the fruit very soft. The mixture is then pressed through a strainer to make a smooth puree or paste.

Castoreum is actually a bitter, strong smelling, creamy orange substance from beaver anal glands and is used to enhance the flavor of raspberry candies. It is also used in perfumes and cigarettes and if you are thinking about changing to chewing gum, well, castoreum is also in some chewing gums.
