Method

  1. Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. To make the meringue, whisk the egg whites to stiff peaks, then add the sugar a bit at a time, whisking until glossy and stiff. Whisk in the cornflour and vinegar.
  2. Use a dinner plate to trace a circle on a piece of baking paper then fill with the meringue and use a large palette knife to draw up the edges. Turn the oven down to 120C/fan 100C/gas 1/2. Cook for 1 1/2 hours and leave to cool completely.
  3. Cook the rhubarb and sugar in a large pan, with a splash of water, on a low heat until tender. Put the grenadine in the pan and reduce to a syrup. Cool and mix with the rhubarb.
  4. To serve, pile the cream on top of the pavlova, top with the rhubarb and a drizzle of syrup.

    This is lovely, looks impressive and incredibly easy to make. The only reason I've given it a 4 is because the rhubard ended up a tad mushy even after a few minutes, so I ended up topping the pavlova with strawberries and drizzling the rhubarb syrup (cooked with orange juice) over the top which was a lovely finishing touch, and rhubarb and strawberries are always a lovely combination anyway. Also made this adding greek yoghurt and vanilla bean paste to the cream which was fabulous.
