INSTRUCTIONS
Place the egg whites in a large, clean, dry bowl and whisk until they
form stiff peaks. Gradually whisk in half the sugar, adding 25g (1oz)
at a time and whisking well between each addition until the mixture is
stiff and glossy. Add the rest of the sugar and fold it in lightly
using a large metal spoon. Preheat the oven to 110øC, 225øF, Gas
Mark 1/4. Line a baking sheet with baking parchment. Spoon the
meringue into a large piping bag fitted with a 1cm ( 1/2 inch) nozzle
and pipe about 24 meringues onto the lined baking sheet, making sure
there is enough space between the meringues for them to spread.
Alternatively, use a teaspoon to spoon the mixture on to the baking
sheet. Bake the meringues on a low shelf in the oven for 2-2 1/2 hours
or until the meringues have dried out and are crisp and slightly
golden. If the meringues start to brown during cooking, cover them
with greaseproof paper. Peel the meringues off the paper and leave to
cool on a wire rack. To make the sauce, place the redcurrants in a
saucepan with the raspberries and sugar and 5 tablespoons water. Bring
slowly to the boil, then remove from the heat and leave to cool. Place
3 or 4 meringues in each individual serving dish. On one side place a
spoonful of the berry sauce and on the other side a spoonful of yogurt
or fromage frais. Converted by MC_Buster. Converted by MM_Buster
