Strawberry-Topped Pavlovas With Honey-Balsamic Sauce
- Strawberries:
- 3 quarts strawberries, quartered
- 1/3 cup sugar
- Meringues:
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 4 large egg whites
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Sauce:
- 3/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 (2-inch) cinnamon stick
- 3 tablespoons honey
- Preheat oven to 250u0b0.
- To prepare strawberries, combine strawberries and 1/3 cup sugar; cover and chill.
- To prepare meringues, cover 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Draw 5 (4-inch) circles on each piece of paper. Turn paper over; secure with masking tape. Place cream of tartar and egg whites in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at high speed until foamy. Gradually add 3/4 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff peaks form (do not underbeat). Beat in vanilla. Divide egg white mixture evenly among 10 drawn circles on baking sheets. Shape meringues into nests with 1-inch sides using the back of a spoon.
- Bake at 250u0b0 for 1 hour, rotating baking sheets after 30 minutes. Turn oven off, and cool meringue nests in closed oven 30 minutes. Carefully remove meringue nests from paper. Cool completely.
- To prepare sauce, combine vinegar and cinnamon stick in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil; cook until syrupy and reduced to about 1/3 cup (about 5 to 6 minutes). Remove from heat. Discard cinnamon stick; stir in honey.
- Place 1 meringue nest on each of 10 dessert plates; top each serving with about 3/4 cup strawberry mixture. Drizzle with about 2 teaspoons sauce.
