APRICOT FLUFF
When we were young mothers, I asked my best friend if she had a recipe for an easy ambrosia salad that I could take to a cookout later that evening. She shared this recipe with me and it's become a must-have at every barbecue I attend. It's sublime with peaches and peach gelatin, too. -Melissa Meinke, Fawn Grove, Pennsylvania

Steps:
- To make the apricot soufflé:
- In a heavy saucepan simmer apricots, water, and 1/2 cup sugar, covered, 20 minutes. Transfer hot mixture to a food processor and purée until very smooth. Force purée through a fine sieve into a bowl and stir in lemon juice, rum, vanilla, a pinch salt. Cool purée completely. Purée may be made 2 days ahead and chilled, covered,. Bring to room temperature before proceeding. Transfer purée to a large bowl.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Generously butter 7-ounce (3 1/2- by 1 3/4 - inch) ramekins and coat with additional sugar, knocking out excess.
- In another large bowl with an electric mixer beat whites with pinch of salt until foamy. Beat in cream of tartar and beat whites until they hold soft peaks. Beat in remaining 1/4 cup sugar, a little at a time, and beat meringue until it just holds stiff peaks. Whisk about one forth meringue into purée to lighten and fold in remaining meringue gently but thoroughly. Ladle batter into ramekins and bake soufflés on a baking sheet in middle of oven 20 to 25 minutes, or until puffed, golden brown, and just set in center.
- Remove ramekins from oven. With 2 forks pull open center of each soufflé and pour some crème anglaise into each opening. Serve soufflés immediately.

- In a small heavy saucepan bring half-and-half just to a boil with vanilla bean and remove pan from heat. Scrape seeds from bean with a knife into half-and-half, reserving pod for another use if desired.
- In a bowl whisk together yolks, sugar, and a pinch of salt and whisk in hot half-and-half in a stream. Return custard to pan and cook over moderately low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until thickened (170°F. on a candy thermometer), but do not let boil.

FROZEN APRICOT SOUFFLé
We like to use California apricots (sometimes labeled "Pacific") in this dessert. They tend to be a deeper orange, and they have a tang that's occasionally lacking in the Turkish or Mediterranean varieties.
Yield Makes 8 to 10 servings

Steps:
- Wrap a collar of parchment paper or foil around soufflé dish to extend 3 inches above rim of dish and secure with kitchen string.
- Simmer apricots with water in a small saucepan, covered, until very tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain, reserving cooking liquid. Purée apricots in a food processor (mixture will not be completely smooth), then transfer to a large bowl.
- Cook sugar with reserved cooking liquid in a small heavy saucepan over low heat, stirring, until sugar has dissolved. Boil, without stirring, washing down any sugar crystals from side of pan with a pastry brush dipped in cold water, until syrup registers 238°F (soft-ball stage), about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, beat egg whites with an electric mixer at medium-high speed until they just hold stiff peaks. While continuing to beat, gradually pour hot syrup in a thin stream down side of bowl into whites (be careful not to let syrup touch beaters, or it will spatter and harden), then continue to beat until meringue has cooled to room temperature, about 5 minutes.
- Beat cream with extracts in another bowl using cleaned beaters until it just holds soft peaks.
- Whisk about one third of meringue into apricot pure to lighten, then fold in remaining meringue.
- Fold whipped cream into apricot mixture gently but thoroughly, then spoon into soufflé dish, smoothing top. Cover surface with plastic wrap and freeze until firm, at least 8 hours.
- Let soufflé stand at room temperature to soften slightly before serving, about 15 minutes. Remove collar and dust top of soufflé with cocoa powder, coating it completely, then dust very lightly with confectioners sugar.
SOUFFLé OMELET WITH APRICOT SAUCE
Soufflé omelets are quick desserts that sound a lot more difficult to make than they actually are. The sauce for these is adapted from an apricot filling for crepes in Sherry Yard's book "Desserts by the Yard."

Steps:
- For the sauce, in a medium saucepan combine the sugar, orange juice and vanilla bean seeds or vanilla extract and bring to a boil. Reduce by a third. Add the apricots, turn the heat down to medium and simmer 5 to 10 minutes, until the apricots are soft. Remove from the heat and divide among 4 plates or pour the sauce onto a platter and arrange the apricots on the edge.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Have the platter for your omelet close at hand.
- Whisk the egg whites in a clean dry bowl or in the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. When they begin to foam, add the cream of tartar and continue to whisk at medium speed until they form medium peaks. Continue whisking on medium speed while you slowly add the sugar, until the egg whites form stiff, satiny but not dry peaks.
- In another large bowl, beat the egg yolks and add the Cointreau, salt and nutmeg. Stir 1/4 of the egg whites into this mixture, then gently fold in the rest.
- Heat a 10-inch skillet that can go into the oven over medium-high heat. Add the butter to the hot pan, and when the foam subsides and the butter is just beginning to color, gently scrape in the egg mixture, using a rubber spatula. Do not stir. Immediately transfer to the oven for 2 1/2 to 3 minutes, until puffed. Remove from the heat, sprinkle half the toasted almonds over the omelet and slide or turn out onto the platter, folding the puffed omelet in half as you do. Sprinkle with the remaining toasted almonds and dust with powdered sugar if you wish. Spoon onto the plates with the apricot sauce and serve. Note: You can also serve the apricot sauce separately and spoon it over the soufflé.
