Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 Cups Fresh Raspberries -- or
30 Ounces Frozen Raspberries -- thawed and drained
-- liquid reserved
1/2 Cup Sugar
3 Tablespoons Cold Water
1 Tablespoon Light Corn Syrup
3 Egg Whites
1/2 Lemon
2 Cups Whipping Cream

For Mousse:
Choose a few perfect raspberries for garnish and set aside. Puree remaining
raspberries in processor or blender until very smooth. Transfer 2 tablespoons
of puree, with seeds, to measuring cup. Strain remaining puree into mixing
bowl, eliminating all seeds. Add enough strained puree to the 2 tablespoons
to measure 1/2 cup. Set aside. Chill remaining strained puree, which will be
used as sauce.
In a small heavy saucepan combine sugar, water, and corn syrup. Bring slowly
to boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally and brushing down any sugar
crystals from sides of pan with brush dipped in cold water. Raise heat
slightly and cook until temperature of syrup reaches 240 F (soft ball stage).
While syrup is cooking, beat 3 egg whites in a mixer until stiff.
As soon as syrup reaches 240 F, lower mixer speed to slow and pour hot syrup
onto beaten whites, in a very thing stream. When all of the syrup has been
incorporated, raise a mixer speed and beat meringue until cool.
Stir together the 1/2 cup reserved raspberry puree and lemon juice and fold
into the meringue until nearly blended. Whip cream until stiff and fold into
the meringue until blended. DO NOT OVERMIX.
