Out in the fields

Sunday mornings are usually dedicated to nature. 
Some fruit and vegetable filled the basket. 
A few pictures and of course something special 
just for you!

strawberry jam

• 2 cups of fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
• 2 cups of sugar
• 1/4 cup of water
• 1 tsp fresh lemon zest

Wash and slice your strawberries.Put them into a saucepan 

with the water, lemon zest, and sugar.Add sugar a little at a time and taste as you go.  

You may like your jam a little less sweet.  Cook over medium 

heat until jam thickens and reduces. Mash with a potato masher while cooking to 

break up big chunks. Pour into a heat resistant jar and store 

in the fridge for up to two weeks.

My first post is from my recent trip to London, where I went with loved ones to find other loved ones. Small treat : the recipe for one of the delicacies at London's street markets. Let's start!

recipe

400g large egg whites (approximately 10 large eggs)

800g caster sugar

Pinch of salt

red food color

1t vanilla

1t vinegar 

rose water(optional)

Preheat the oven to 110°C and line baking trays with 

parchment paper.Place egg whites into the bowl of your 

stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment.Beat on medium 

speed until foamy.Add the pinch of salt and increase speed 

to medium-high. Slowly add sugar and vanilla.

Then add the vinegar and beat until the egg whites become 

thick and glossy, holding stiff peaks.

Finally add the food color and the rose water and stir 

gently with a spoon to get the marble effect. 

Spoon large dollops of the meringue onto the baking tray.

Bake at a low temp until they are have thick crust and are 

light to pick up (approx 2hr for this size). Let them cool 

in the oven with temp off and door open.

Keep the meringues in an airtight container for up to three 

days.

Makes approximately 10 -12 giant meringues.
