INSTRUCTIONS
To make meringue: In bowl, combine egg whites, vinegar, and salt. Beat
until soft peaks form. Add sugar, 1 tbsp (15 ml) at a time; beat until
stiff peaks form.
Line a baking sheet with parchment or brown paper (aluminum foil may also
be used). Draw a circle with an 8-inch diameter. Spoon egg-white mixture
on paper pattern; with a spoon shape mixture into a circle with sides about
2 inches higher than centre. Or prepare individual meringues 2 inches in
diameter.
Bake single meringue in 250F oven for about 1 1/2 hours or until slightly
coloured. Turn off oven and leave meringue to cool for 2 hours or
overnight before removing from oven. Carefully remove from paper. (Bake
individual meringue for 50 to 60 minutes).
To make lemon sauce: In small saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch, and
lemon peel. Stir in water and lemon juice; cook over medium heat, stirring
constantly until slightly thickened. Carefully stir one-quarter of hot
mixture into beaten egg to prevent egg from coagulating; return to hot
mixture, stirring constantly. Cook and stir for 4 minutes or until
thickened. Cover and refrigerate.
Just before serving, combine cut-up fruit with lemon sauce. Spoon into
meringue shell and serve, garnished with mint leaves.

My Note: Lemon sauce can be made with two egg yolks if you are unconcerned
about cholesterol. Check the meringue at about 40 minutes - tastes good
without the extra drying time for eating the same day.
