Fruit Pavlova

After making the curry (see previous post) I then rounded off an eating fest by making a fruit Pavlova (thank you Sunday Times).

Meringue

• 4 Egg whites


• 225g Cater Sugar

Used an electric whisk to beat the egg whites until it would yield stiff peaks.

Added a bit of sugar at a time until all mixed i, then whisk a couple of minutes more.

Spread out on a baking tray covered with grease proof paper - spread it so you have a bowl shape to put the filling in later.

So, put that into a preheated over (180C) - as soon as you put it in turn the heat down to 125C and let it cook for 1.5 hours.

After that, turn off the oven and let it cool.

Filling:

• Blend/Squash 100g of strawberries and add juice of a tangerine.


• add a tablespoon of icing sugar


• Sieve the sauce to remove seeds & bits


• Whisk up 350ml of double cream with a teaspoon of vanilla extract added until its nice and stiff


• Fill cooled meringue base with cream.


• Lay on slices of peach


• Pour over as much or as little sauce as you want

Heres the result:
