Fruit sauce

Fruit sauce is a liquid or semi-liquid culinary preparation made by cooking and concentrating fresh or frozen fruits, sugar, and occasionally citrus juices or spices. This sauce is commonly used to enhance the flavor of desserts, ice cream, pancakes, and sweet dishes, providing a fresh and fruity touch.

The origin of fruit sauce dates back to various culinary traditions where seasonal fruits were used to create versatile accompaniments. In Western and Latin American cuisines, it is very popular in both home and professional recipes due to its ease of preparation and natural flavor.

Regarding its properties, fruit sauce is rich in vitamins (especially vitamin C), antioxidants, and fiber, depending on the type of fruit used. Thanks to its low-fat content and high concentration of nutrients, it is a healthy option for naturally sweetening desserts.

In the Hispanic American context, fruit sauce may also be known as liquid jam, coulis, or simply fruit sauce, although the term "coulis" comes from French and is more common in professional culinary contexts.
