-------------------------------SOUFFLE BATTER-------------------------------
      2 pt Strawberries

    1/4 c  Water

    3/4 c  Sugar

      6 lg Egg whites

      1 pn Salt

           Vegetable cooking spray
           Sugar; for greasing mold
--------------------------STRAWBERRY-ORANGE SAUCE--------------------------
      1 pt Strawberries

      2 tb Sugar

      3 tb Orange juice

      1 tb Orange liqueur

           - such as Cointreau
  FOR THE SOUFFLE: Rinse, hull and puree the berries. Puree the berries in a
  blender or food processor. Measure 2 cups puree. (Use any remaining puree
  for the sauce.) Combine water and sugar in a 2-quart saucepan and bring to
  a boil over low heat. Cook until the syrup thickens, about 3 minutes.
  Increase heat and add puree, stirring to dissolve any sugar which may have
  hardened when the puree was added. Bring to a boil and cool. Thirty minutes
  before serving the souffle, preheat the oven to 400F and set a rack in the
  lower part of the oven. Spray a 2 1/2-quart oval gratin dish or rectangular
  glass baking dish with vegetable cooking spray and sprinkle the inside of
  the dish with sugar. Whip the egg whites with the salt until they hold a
  soft peak. Fold in the cooled strawberry puree. Pour the souffle batter
  into the dish and smooth the top of the batter with a metal spatula. Bake
  about 15 minutes, until well risen and lightly colored. Serve immediately.
  FOR THE STRAWBERRY-ORANGE SAUCE: While the souffle is baking, combine the
  sauce ingredients in the blender (adding any leftover puree) and puree.
  Place in saucepan and bring to a boil and reduce for a minute or 2. Serve
  with the souffle. Vary this souffle with other fruit or berries--use 2 cups
  of pureed, strained fruit as a substitute for the strawberries.
