Boysenberry Meringues
Method
- Make sauce and set aside to cool before adding to meringues:Add sauce ingredients to a medium heat pan and cook until well mixed together and starting to thicken (if using frozen berries, thaw first but don’t discard any extra juice, it will just take a
- 15 mins)
- Fold in icing sugar
- Decide on the size of your meringues and put approx
- 2/3 of amount onto baking tray
- Add 1 tsp sauce, then the other 1/3 of meringue on top, gently swirl together and spread into circles
- (I suggest doing this as a little flatter-style meringues to help with consistent cooking
- They will still be fine with mounds, they just may need an extra 10-15 mins cooking time
- )Cook in a very slow oven (120 C) for 1 ¼ hours
- Turn off oven and leave door ajar to dry as they cool
- Store in an airtight container and they will last a few days
- Any longer they will be ok, but will start to go soft

A pretty way to create something a little different from plain meringues. The berry sauce usually makes more than is needed for a batch of meringues but am sure you’ll agree it’s tasty enough to use for other topping desires.
