INGREDIENTS:
* 6 egg whites
* 1 pinch salt
* 1 1/2 teaspoons vinegar
* 2 cups castor sugar or superfine sugar
* 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
* 1/2 cup sweetened flaked coconut
* 2 cups sweetened whipped cream
* 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
* 2 kiwifruit, peeled, halved lengthwise, and sliced
* 1 fresh peach - peeled, pitted and sliced
* 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (220 degrees C). You will be turning the temperature down to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) when you put this in to bake.
2. Combine the egg whites and salt in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer, or stand mixer using a whisk attachment until able to form soft peaks. Sprinkle in the sugar 1 tablespoon at a time while continuing to whip to stiff peaks. Stir in the vanilla and vinegar, and fold in coconut if using. Spread evenly into a 9 or 10 inch round glass dish, making sure to spread out to all of the edges.
3. Place the pavlova into the oven, and immediately reduce the temperature to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the top is crisp and a pale straw color. Leave in the oven, and turn off the heat. Let it stay in the oven until the oven has cooled completely.
4. Once the pavlova is cooled, top generously with sweetened whipped cream. Arrange the strawberries, kiwis, peaches and blueberries in beautiful concentric circles on top.

Rhubarb-Strawberry Pavlova
8 large egg whites
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
2 cups sugar plus 2 teaspoons
8 teaspoons cornstarch, sifted
Poached Rhubarb with Strawberries
Yogurt Cream
Strawberry Sauce
1. Preheat oven to 275°. Line two baking pans with parchment paper. Set aside. In the bowl of a heavy-duty electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat egg whites, salt, vanilla extract, and cream of tartar on medium-high speed until medium peaks form. Slowly add sugar; continue beating until firm peaks form. Fold in cornstarch.
2. Transfer mixture to a large pastry bag. Use scissors to cut 3 inches off of the tip. Pipe mixture into eight large mounds onto prepared baking pans. Bake until meringues are crisp on the outside but their consistency resembles marshmallow on the inside, about 1 hour. Serve with poached rhubarb with strawberries, yogurt cream, and strawberry sauce.

Little tip - before whipping egg whites make sure all equipment is grease free or use Merrie white.
