  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   5                    Eggs -- separated
   1 1/4  c             Sugar
   1      tb            Lemon rind -- grated
     2/3  c             Lemon juice
   2                    Env gelatin -- unflavored
     1/2  c             Water
   2      c             Whipping cream
   1      ds            Cream of tartar -- or more
   2      c             Fresh berries -- as garnish

Beat together egg yolks and sugar. Add lemon rind to yolks and
gradually add juice, beating constantly.

Soften gelatin in water and heat until it dissolves. Allow to cool
slightly. Whip cream lightly and stir into the lemon mixture. Add
gelatin and continue stirring until mixture begins to thicken.

In a separate bowl, beat egg whites with cream of tartar until stiff
but not dry. Fold into lemon mixture. Spoon into a souffle dish
(2 qt capacity). Chill several hours or until completely set.

To serve, spoon souffle onto chilled serving dishes and top with
berries.

Notes:

Egg whites, when whipped can be increased in volume 8 times. Cream of
tartar added to whites adds no volume, but the acid helps prevent
lumpiness and collapse from over coagulation or overbeating.
