I've always assumed that bottled raspberry syrups and sauces were raspberry coulis under a different name, but it occurred to me today that I've never actually tasted the bottled stuff and that a mixture based on my usual coulis recipe could be way off target in terms of sweetness/thickness. About how sweet/thick should the raspberry component be?
