Pear and Plum Souffle

This is a very simple recipe that can be made in about 10 minutes.

Ingredients:

3 egg whites

1/4 cup sugar

3 pears

3 plums

pinch corn starch

Core and remove pits and seeds from the fruit. Juice or blend.

Add a pinch of cornstarch and a little of the sugar to the juice then heat over a low flame to thicken.

While the juice thickens prepare 8 ramekins.

Butter the sides and the base of each ramekin.

Pour some of the sugar into each ramekin.

Roll to coat the sides.

Place the egg whites into a mixing bowl then whisk. Once the whites begin to foam add a little of the sugar.

Whisk to stiff peaks.

Let the juice cool then fold in the egg whites 1/3 at a time.

Keep folding until the juice and the egg whites are combined.

Fill each ramekin

 Remove the excess with a pallet knife.

Run your thumb around the edge of each ramekin to make a small indent.

Place the souffle in a preheated oven (375F) for 10 minutes.

Serve immediately.
