Pavlova Day

How to have a lovely day in the school holidays.

First we went out  to our local fruit farm and did some picking of raspberries and strawberries.

Then there was the baking of the meringue. I have to say I can not take much credit for this. The only bits I did were to help separate the egg whites, clear up the dropped egg from the kitchen floor, and the oven part. But the rest was done by Frankie, as I was fiddling around with some knitting pattern, as is my way these days.

Forgot to take a photograph before we had cut into it, which is a shame as it did look very good.
 

Anticipation is half the enjoyment.

That is one happy boy! 

This is the recipe copied into Frankie's recipe book. The only difference is she made one big pavlova, instead of individual ones.
