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.

    I've always imagined that pavlova is sooooo difficult to make. But this one is excellent. It's simple and fantastic. The tartnes of the rhubarb (I used canned) in contrast to the sweetness was a good balance.
