Apricot And Honey Soufflés - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/4 cup granulated sugar
4 medium fresh apricots
2 tbsp honey
4 None egg whites
1 tbsp powdered sugar

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F. Grease six 3/4-cup souffle dishes. Sprinkle the inside of the dishes with a little of the granulated sugar; shake away the excess. Place the dishes on a baking pan.
Place the apricots in a small heatproof bowl; cover with boiling water. Let stand for 2 mins. Drain, then cool for 5 mins. Peel, pit and finely chop the apricots.
Combine the apricots in a small saucepan with the remaining granulated sugar, 1/4 cup water and honey; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low; simmer, uncovered, for about 10 mins or until the apricots soften to a jam-like consistency.
Beat the egg whites in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in the hot apricot mixture until just combined. Spoon the mixture into the prepared dishes.
Bake the souffles for about 15 mins. Serve immediately, dusted with sifted powdered sugar.
