A rant

[brenda]

Have just spent ages reading the details of a Festive Pavlova in a mag dated 28 nov.09.Thought that would be great for a christmas day dessert. Got to the end of the recipe the m eringue bit has to be stored in a freezer for 1 month before you put the fruit in .Are they for real or what. !!!!!!I I giv e up I really do.

Rant over.--s8d the pavlova will have a Christmas pud instead.

It's a hard life

surely once the meringue is frozen it will go into a trance-like state and lose all track of time - how will it know if it's only had 2 weeks?

a dessert in a trance-like state? lol!

[tamborine]

Dont think meringue should be frozen - best kept in an air-tight tin. Even better use freshly made to avoid it being chewy.

life can be tough sometimes. what's the world coming to, eh?

[sara3]

just for the record, I like my meringue chewy.

chewy is a great word!

Simple buy a meringue in the supermarket.......

Sara I agree - one of my best recipes is a coffee toffee meringue which actually is better if you freeze it.

Brenda, I've got a great recipe for a meringue which works every single time if you want I'll post it. And it does not need freezing.

i'd like it please BM, my meringues are always rubbish
