| Grape Pavlova |
|
 |
The sweetness of the meringue
mixture contrasts nicely with the tartness of the grapes.
4 egg whites 4
1/8 tsp. salt 0.6 mL
1/8 tsp. cream of tartar 0.6 mL
1 ¼ cup sugar, divided 310 mL
2 cups BC grapes 500 mL
¼ cup packed golden sugar 60 mL
grated peel of 1 orange
1 tbsp. Cornstarch, mixed with 15 mL juice of 1 orange
2 ½ cups whipping cream 625 mL |
- Preheat oven to 275 F. (140 C). Line a baking
tray with parchment paper.
- Place egg whites in a large bowl. Beat at
high speed with an electric mixer with whip attachments until
frothy. Continue beating as you add the salt and cream of tartar.
When whites are nearly stiff, start adding 1 cup (250 mL) sugar
as you beat. Continue beating about 1 minute or until a very stiff
and glossy meringue has formed. Use a plastic spatula to transfer
the meringue to the middle of the parchment-lined tray. Swirl
into a circle (or any desired shape), slightly hollowing out the
centre.
- Bake 1 hour. Turn off oven and leave pavlova
in oven for another hour to dry out. Gently remove from parchment
paper to a plate. Use within 3-4 hours to avoid major cracking.
- Combine grapes, golden sugar, peel and cornstarch
mixed with juice in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring,
just until grapes start to split and mixture has thickened. Cool
completely.
- When ready to serve, beat cream until stiff,
beating in remaining ¼ cup (60 mL) sugar at the end. Pile cream
and cooked grape mixture into the pavlova. Serve at once.
- Makes 4 - 6 servings.

into dough. Transfer to a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with plastic
wrap. Allow to proof for 1 hour or until double in size.
When dough has doubled, transfer to a well greased
baking sheet and evenly press out with fingers to spread out through
baking sheet. Let rest for 15 to 20 minutes to allow to rise slightly.
Mix together sugar and lemon zest. In a mixing
bowl, toss grapes with lemon juice. When well coated, transfer to
sugar lemon mixed and toss to coat well. Add grapes to surface of
dough, spreading out and pressing down grapes into dough. Brush
