Preheat Oven to 200 degrees. Separate the egg yolks.
Take one yolk and 1 teaspoon of sugar and brush the inside of the cups. Set aside in a cool place.
Melt the jam with 1 teaspoon of water. Beat the egg whites stiffly,(use just a dash of salt).
Fold the egg whites into the jam one third at a time using a wooden spoon, (warning: do not use a spoon with a sharp edge as it cuts the egg whites and causes them to go flat).

Put a 3-inch aluminum collar around the cups. Spoon the mixture in the cups.
The best way is to let them cool for 5 minutes.
Bake 15-18 minutes. Important: do not open the oven until 5 minutes before taking out or the souffles will deflate.
Separate the collar and serve immediately.
