Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/4 c Gooseberry puree, thick and
-sweetened
6 tb Butter
1/2 c Flour
1 c Milk
3 lg Eggs, separated

In a heavy pan, melt the butter over low heat. As the
butte melts, stir in the flour. Stir until smooth and
blended, then gradually add the milk, stirring all the
time so that the mixture remains smooth. Bring to the
boiling point, still stirring, and cook for three
minutes. Add the gooseberry puree and stir until
thoroughly mixed.

Beat the egg yolks until they are light and combine
them with the gooseberry mixture. Beat the whites
until they are stiff (this means that you can turn the
bowl upside down without any ill effect), and use a
metal spoon to gently fold the whites into the
gooseberry mixture.

Lightly oil a 5-cup soffle dish. Turn the mixture into
the souffle dish and bake on the middle shelf of a
preheated 375-degreeF oven for about 45 minutes. By
this time the souffle should be crisp on the outside
and still creamy on the inside. (For a more creamy
result, bake the soffle in a water bath: Stand the
souffle dish in a pan and pour enough hot water into
the pan to cover the sides of the dish by about 2
inches.)

Remember that the souffle will not remain at its best
for more than a few minutes after leaving the oven.
