I've never made a fresh fruit, baked souffle. I have a recipe here that I'd like to make tomorrow,

if anyone might have a comment on it. I bought a whack of fresh raspberries for it.

Winter Raspberry Souffles Gourmet | December 1998

Serves 6.

1/2 cup sugar plus additional for coating ramekins

two 10-ounce packages frozen raspberries in syrup, thawed

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar

4 large eggs

1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar

Preheat oven to 375̊F. Butter six 1-cup ramekins (4 by 2 inches) and coat with sugar, knocking out excess sugar.

Remove 30 raspberries and drain on paper towels. In a 3-quart saucepan stir together remaining raspberries with syrup, cornstarch, and vinegar. Simmer mixture, stirring, 3 minutes. Pour mixture through a fine sieve into a bowl, pressing hard on solids. Stir in drained raspberries and cool mixture. Raspberry mixture may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.

Separate eggs and in a large bowl with an electric mixer beat together yolks and 6 tablespoons sugar until thick and pale and mixture forms a ribbon when beater is lifted, about 5 minutes. Fold raspberry mixture into yolk mixture until just combined. In another large bowl with cleaned beaters beat whites with cream of tartar and a pinch salt until they just hold soft peaks. Gradually add remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, beating until whites hold stiff peaks. Stir one fourth whites into raspberry mixture to lighten and fold in remaining whites gently but thoroughly.

Divide soufflé mixture among ramekins and smooth tops with a knife. Run tip of knife around edges of soufflés to aid rising. Bake soufflés on a baking sheet in lower third of oven until puffed and golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. Serve soufflés immediately.

 
How were these, Marg? I made them when the issue was new but was underwhelmed. I did it by

hand though. I think I remember that the raspberry mixture didn't suffuse the egg whites but settled near the bottom. If I hear of success, I'll try them again.

Even after trying the classics -- chocolate and Grand Marnier -- I always resort to my favourites, a Gourmet mag apricot soufflé with rum creme anglaise, and Regan Daley's gingerbread soufflé with white chocolate creme anglaise. Both fool-proof, both swoon-makers.

 
Wasn't well last night so the fruit ended up in crepes this morning. Not in a hurry but

some day, would you mind posting the apricot version? I keep going back to the Green Chartrueuse souffle because of its very odd flavour.

Thanks for the hints on this one.

Did you finish the rhubarb ginger cheesecake?
