Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C).
  • Draw a 6” circle on a baking paper sheet, turn over, and place on a baking pan.
  • In a mixer with a whisk, whisk the egg whites and salt to medium peaks. Slowly add the water, while whisking on a slow speed. Slowly add the sugar, then turn up the speed to high speed until stiff peaks form.
  • Mound the meringue on the baking sheet, trying to keep the mix within the 6” diameter. Using a spatula, shape the pavlova into a crater, with a slight dip in the middle, and flatten the top.
  • Bake the pavlova for 1 hour. Then reduce the heat to to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C) for 45 more minutes.
  • Turn the oven off and let the pavlova cool for at least an hour, or overnight, in the oven.
  • While the pavlova is baking, prepare the jam: In a medium saucepan, combine the berries, sugar and lemon juice. Cook for 1 hour on low heat until the mix thickens, but don't let it brown and caramelize. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Once the pavlova is cool, whisk the heavy cream until very stiff. Fold the vanilla in. Fold in a few tablespoons of the cooled jam.
  • Fill the pavlova with the whipped cream. Drizzle with the leftover jam. Top with fresh berries or any seasonal fruit you like. Dust with powdered sugar and serve immediately.
