( A Finnish Dessert)

With the back of a large spoon, rub the fresh or thoroughly defrosted frozen st
rawberries through a fine sieve into a small mixing bowl.  Stir into this puree
 the 1/2 cup sugar, a little at a time.
Using a balloon-type wire whisk, beat the egg whites and salt vigorously in a l
arge bowl (preferably of unlined copper) until the whites are stiff enough to f
orm unweavering peaks when the beater is lifted out of the bowl. With a gentle 
under-over cutting motion rather than a stirring motion, use a rubber spatula t
o fold first the strawberry puree and then the whipped cream into the egg white
s.  Pour the strawberry snow into an attractive serving bowl, or individual des
sert bowls, and decorate with the whole strawberries.  This dessert can be serv
ed at once, or it may be refrigerated for a few hours and served later in the d
ay.
