- 2/3 c Water
- --For the Italian
- -Meringue:
- 3/4 c Sugar
- 1/3 c Water

- -large )
- 2 1/2 c Well chilled heavy cream
- --For the spun sugar
- -wreath:
- 1/2 c Light corn syrup
- 1/4 c Sugar

Directions
Make the cranberry mixture: In a heavy saucepan combine the cranberries,
the sugar and the water and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring until the
sugar is dissolved. Simmer the mixture, stirring occasionally, for 5
minutes, or until it is thickened, and let cool completely. (I cooked mine
a bit longer).
Make the Italian Meringue: In a small heavy saucepan, combine the sugar
and the water and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring until the sugar is
dissolved. Boil the syrup, washing down any sugar crystals clinging to the
side of the pan with a brush dipped in cold water, until it registers 248
degrees F. on a candy thermometer and remove the pan from the heat. While
the syrup is boiling, in the large bowl of an electric mixer, beat the egg
whites with a pinch of salt until they hold soft peaks, and with the motor
running, add the hot syrup in a stream, beating and beat the meringue at
medium speed for 8 minutes, or until it cools to room temperature.
Fold the cranberry mixture into the meringue gently but throughly. In
another bowl, with cleaned beaters, beat the cream until it just holds
stiff peaks and fold it into the cranberry mixture gently but thoroughly.
Spoon the souffle into a 2.5 qt. freezer proof glass serving bowl (8 inch
diameter), smoothing the top, and freeze the souffle, its surface covered
with plastic wrap, overnight. the souffle may be made 3 days in advance and
kept covered and frozen.
Make the spun sugar wreath: In a small heay saucepan combine the corn
syrup and the sugar , bring the mixture to a boil over moderate heat,
stirring until the sugar is dissolved, and boil the syrup until it is
golden caramel and registers 320 degrees F. on a candy thermometer. While
the syrup is boiling, oil lightly a 12 inch square sheet of foul and on it
arrange the cranberries in a 6 inch wide wreath shape. Remove the pan from
the heat and let the syrup cool for 30 seconds. Dip a fork into the syrup
and drizzle the syrup over the cranberries, repeating this procedure until
the cranberries are covered and wreath is formed. (If the syrup becomes too
thick to drizzle from a fork, reheat over moderate heat until it is the
right consistency.) Let the wreath cool completely. The wreath may be made
2 hours in advance- preferably not on a damp day - and kept in a cool, dry
place.
Pry the wreath gently from the foil, arrange it on the souffle and garnish
it with the mint sprigs.
The following recipe is from the December issue of Gourmet Magazine. I
made this as a dessert for Christmas - but I omitted the spun sugar wreath!
I did not wish to wait until a couple of hours before dinner on Christmas
day to make a spun sugar wreath! Instead, I decorated the souffle with
candied violets.
Also, please note that the recipe gives no suggestion on how long before
serving from the freezer! If properly frozen, the souffle is hard as a
rock! I took mine out of the freezer about an hour and a half before I
planned to serve it - and in reality, it was more. I did not leave the
souffe in my hot kitchen, but rather in a not quite as hot pantry and it
was still well frozen, but I was able to cut into it to serve! You will
have to judge this for yourself as it will depend on the the temperature of
the room, etc. The souffle will not break down, so you won't have to worry
about that! By the way, if there are any leftovers, the souffle is equally
good the next day, but of course it is no longer a frozen souffle!
