Ingredients:
1 16-ounce bag frozen mixed
berries
Grated peel of ½
orange (orange part only)
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
2 large egg whites
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
3 tablespoons granulated
sugar
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
F.
Place the berries in a saucepan
on low heat. Stir in orange zest and sugar, and cover. Cook, stirring occasionally,
until berries are hot throughout. Drain excessive liquid and reserve for
later use.
Meanwhile, beat egg whites
with an electric beater on medium in a clean, grease-free, glass or metal
bowl. When they're foamy, stop and add cream of tartar. Continue to beat;
when soft peaks form, continue beating while sprinkling in sugar in a slow
stream.
Continue to beat until peaks
are stiff and glossy.
Working quickly, divide the
hot, not-too-liquidy fruit among four oven-proof bowls or tea cups. (A
slotted spoon is helpful here.)
Dollop (spoon a puff on)
and spread the meringue over each bowl, and place them all in the oven
on the middle rack.
Bake 10-12 minutes, until
the meringue is light brown and puffy, and the fruit underneath is still
hot and juicy.
Serve each bowl with a saucer
or plate underneath, and warn others that the bowls are very hot.
To separate an egg's white
from its yolk, crack the egg in half. Keep one half in each hand; over
a bowl, pour the yolk back and forth between the two eggshell halves, so
the white drips into the bowl. Reserve the yolk for later use, or discard.
When the juice cools, combine
it with a 100% fruit juice such as orange or apple, for an extra serving
toward your 5 A Day.
