Ingredients

  • 100 g sugar
  • 75 g icing sugar
  • 3 egg whites
  • 1 drop pink food coloring
  • 250 g strawberries
  • 2 tablespoons strawberry jam
  • 300 ml double cream

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 120C/110C Fan/Gas 1.
  • Line two baking trays with baking paper.
  • Mix the caster sugar and icing sugar together.
  • Whisk the egg whites in a clean, dry bowl until they form stiff, glossy peaks (this is best done with an electric mixer).
  • Add a dessertspoon of the sugars, one at a time, whisking until stiff again after each addition.
  • Add the colouring with the last spoon of sugar.
  • Using 2 dessertspoons, put the mixture into 12 piles on the baking trays, lifting it out with one spoon and easing it off with the other.
  • Bake for about an hour - if they can be lifted off the paper easily, they're ready.
  • Puree a third of the strawberries with the conserve.
  • Whip the cream until it just holds its shape.
  • Fill the meringues with the rest of the strawberries, cream and sauce.
