Wash blackcurrants quickly under running water, you should not soak them.

Drain carefully, then pour into a vegetable mill and turn.

Do this in stages.

Stage 2
Blackcurrant coulis
You will a get a puree which still contain skins and seeds.

Stage 3 - 5 min.
Blackcurrant coulis
Pour this puree into a fine strainer, and push through using a maryse or soft spatula.

Stage 4
Blackcurrant coulis
Continue in stages until only seeds remain in the strainer. Discard them.

Stage 5
Blackcurrant coulis
Your blackcurrant coulis is ready. You can use it now and add sugar, or freeze it.
Remarks
Unlike other fruits, blackcurrants should not be blended, because vegetable mills give better results.

If blackcurrants are very difficult to mill, you can soften them by putting in boiling water for 30 second then draining, this will break skins.
Keeping
Several days in the fridge, in a closed jar.
