Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
6 Egg whites
1½ cup Granulated sugar
2 tablespoons White vinegar
1 teaspoon Vanilla
¼ teaspoon Cream of tartar
2 tablespoons Cornstarch
3 cups Raspberries
1 tablespoon Icing sugar

THREE-BERRY COMPOTE

In bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in sugar, one-third at a time, until stiff and glossy. Beat in vinegar, vanilla and cream of tartar. Using fine sieve, shake cornstarch over top; fold in gently.

On parchment paper-lined baking sheets, form meringue into 8 ovals about 3-½ inches long. Bake in 275F 140C oven for 50-60 minutes or until meringues are crispy outside but still soft inside. Let cool.

[Meringues can be stored, uncovered, at room temperature for up to 8 hours.]

Three-Berry Compote: Pure 1 cup of the raspberries; pressing through sieve into sauce pan. Stir in icing sugar; cook over low heat just until heated through. Stir in strawberries, blueberries and remaining raspberries. Let cool.

[Compote can be refrigerated in airtight container for up to 1 day.] To serve, place 1 meringue on each plate. Spoon compote next to meringue.

Serve with whipped cream and a macadamia nut or almond praline, and fresh mint.
