Instructions

In a small saucepan, combine the strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice and cook over medium heat, stirring, until the fruit breaks down, 6 to 8 minutes.
Blend until smooth, then press through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the seeds.
Cool completely; the coulis thickens slightly as it chills. Drizzle over glazed doughnuts or use for dipping.

Tips

Vanilla boost: add 1/2 to 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract with the other flavorings for a rounder, warmer flavor.
Storage: Refrigerate for up to 1 week; rewarm gently until pourable.
