Meringues with berries
The oven-baked fruit adds a lovely summer flavour to the meringues. These can be made in advance and then stored for a day or so

- Heat the oven to 110C/fan 90C/gas 1/4. Put a sheet of baking parchment on a baking sheet, scatter with the berries and put in the oven for 1 hour. Leave to cool.
- Line 2 more baking sheets with baking parchment. Whisk the egg whites until they form stiff peaks, add the caster sugar and whisk again until the mixture is glossy. Add the cooked berries and fold though quickly.
- Spoon the mixture onto the prepared trays and bake for 2 hours for soft or 4 hours for crisp. I leave mine to cool down in the oven overnight and they are perfect every time. Cool. They will keep stored in an airtight container for a day or two.
- Serve with cream and fresh berries.
Kids' Cooking
Get older children to have a go at whisking the egg whites for the meringues and let younger ones have fun with some free-form decorating with berries and cream. It's the perfect way to wave goodbye to the summer holidays.
