Pavlova with Blueberry Jam #Christmas

If you have never tried (or never even heard of) Pavlova before I don’t blame you. It’s not a dessert that I see very often either. Mainly I’ve seen them in cookbooks and I always think, “Whoa, that’s gorgeous!”

If you’ve in no way attempted Pavlova earlier than you is probably curious what it tastes like. It’s a meringue dessert, so it’s crunchy at the out of doors and gentle on the internal. It strikes a chord in my memory of what I’d imagine a baked marshmallow to taste like. And Pavlova is normally served with whipped cream and berries. I decided to bypass the whipped cream (however experience unfastened to add it in if you need) and make a short blueberry jam to top those.

With an electric powered mixer set to medium whisk together the egg whites, cream of tartar and salt for three minutes. allow the mixer hold going for walks and add inside the sugar, a spoonful at a time. once the meringue is thick and might form stiff peaks you’re carried out (approximately 6 minutes general)!

Pavlova with Blueberry Jam

Ingredients

• 6 egg whites use the yolks to make ice cream!
• 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/4 cups sugar
• 1 cup blueberries
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• mint leaves to garnish
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup light corn syrup
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions

1. With an electric powered mixer set to medium whisk together the egg whites, cream of tartar and salt for three minutes. allow the mixer keep running and upload in the sugar, a spoonful at a time. as soon as the meringue is thick and might shape stiff peaks you're performed (about 6 minutes general)!
2. Cowl a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spoon on massive dollops of meringue and press the centers to form little bowls (to keep the jam later). Bake at 250°F for 1 hour and 20 mins. midway through baking make certain to rotate the pan(s) so that they bake flippantly.
3. To make the jam combine the blueberries, sugar, corn syrup, lemon juice + zest in a small pan. cook dinner over medium heat (so it simply reaches the boiling point) for six-8 mins. take away from heat, the jam will thicken as it cools. pinnacle the Pavlovas with heat jam and a mint sprig.
