Trying for a Cherry Souffle


Image: Hank's simple sketch in soft pastel
( a quickie effort)

Trying one’s hand at a Cherry Souffle
It would appear not that complicated
Going by the ingredients it should be easy
It’s just a matter of getting started

250 gms of fresh or canned cherries
Eggs sugar gelatin and whipped cream
As required toasted nuts to decorate
All set to whip up a dream

Get a 6” soufflé dish
brush and collar with oil
Deseed and chop the cherries
and leave a few for topping later
In a bowl place the sugar
and egg yolks mixture
Place over a pan of hot water
and whisk until creamy and thick
Place over gentle heat
The dissolved gelatin in water
Later cool all the mixture
throw in the nuts for good measure
Pour into the soufflé dish,
to set in the fridge
And to serve cold
It’s best we are  told
