Preparation
Step 1

of tartar, and beat until mixture forms rounding peaks. Beat in sugar in
portions of 1 tablespoon at a time, and con tinue beating until sugar is dissolved
and mixture forms glossy pointed peaks. Shape into mounds, cups,
Or any other desired form on ungreased heavy wrapping paper or oth er
unglazed paper on a baking sheet. A pastry bag is useful in shaping
meringues. Bake in a very slow oven (250' F. ) for 30 minutes for soft
shells to 1 hour for dry, faintly browned shells. At th e end of the bakin g
period, tum off the heat and allow the meringues to remain in the oven
until they cool. Press small meringue shells into scoops of ice cream, th en
spoon crushed sweetened berries over top for meringue glace. Or serve
individual meringues with berries and whipped cream. 5 servings.
