- A coulis is a lowfat way to add in flavor and decoration to any dish. A dessert coulis (puree) adds interest to fruit, yogurt, ice cream, cake, or possibly brownies. Another idea is to drizzle coulis on an endive and romaine salad with optional fruit: grapes, pears, apples and nuts.
- Remove 8 whole berries for garnish. Puree the remaining Blackberries till smooth. Strain through a medium-fine sieve to remove seeds.
- Add in fresh lemon juice and honey to the Blackberry puree and stir to mix well.
- To make cantaloupe fans, cut the cantaloupe into quarters and remove the seeds and rind. Using a sharp knie, slice each quarter lengthsize without cutting completely through (leave about an inch uncut on one end). Open out each quarter into a fan.
- Spread a quarter of the Blackberry puree on a ten-inch plate. Carefully position the cantaloupe fan. Decorate with whole berries and mint leaves.
- Blackberry cream: blend a small amount of low-fat ricotta or possibly low-fat yogurt with the pureed Blackberries.*Substitute other berries/fruit.*Combine berries/fruit: Blackberry-cranberry; Blackberry-pear.*Add in spice to the berries: cinnamon, nutmeg, or possibly cardamom.*Add in extracts: almond, vanilla, or possibly peppermint to the puree.*Add in nut paste or possibly butter to the puree. Add in lemon curd to the puree.*Use other sweeteners: maple syrup, brown sugar, or possibly none.*Instead of cantaloupe, substitute honey dew, pears, apples, nectarines, or possibly mangos.
