INSTRUCTIONS

To make meringue: Preheat oven to 275 degrees farenheit. Cover a
baking sheet with parchment paper (preferred) or aluminum foil. Mark
9" circle or whatever shape strikes your fancy (a heart works well).
Set aside.  In a mixing bowl, beat eggs whites until foamy. Add cream
of tartar  and beat until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in sugar and
continuing beating until stiff peaks form. Put small amount of
meringue in a pastry bag and pipe around edge of your marked design  on
the parchment. Take remaining meringue and smooth inside your  piped
design. With the back of a spoon build up edge a bit.  Bake for 1 hour.
Turn off oven and leave for additional hour - do not  open oven door.
Remove from oven and cool completely.  Preparing the filling: Beat
cream cheese, sugar, strawberry gelatin  and vanilla until smooth and
fluffy. Setting aside one cup of the  whipped cream for decoration,
fold in remaining whipped cream. Fill  the meringue shell. Refrigerate
until set.  Preparing the topping : Stir together sliced strawberries
and the  preserves. Remove meringue from refrigerator. Spread
strawberry mix  on top of filling. Decorate with reserved whipped
cream.  Serves 6-8 Posted to MC-Recipe Digest V1 #508 by Peggy
