ETON MESS
This dessert is divine. It's so pretty served in clear martini-type glasses. If you like, you can layer the cream and strawberry mixture as shown in the photo. You can also add blackberries for extra flavor and color.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Beat egg whites and salt in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until they just hold soft peaks. Gradually mix in 1 cup sugar, then continue to beat until meringue holds stiff, glossy peaks. Spoon meringue into 4 equal mounds on the prepared baking sheet. Spread each into 3 1/2-inch rounds, smoothing the tops.
- Bake in the middle of the preheated oven until crisp and firm, about 1 1/2 hours. Turn the oven off and leave meringues in until completely cooled, about 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, halve some strawberries for garnish and set aside. Slice remaining strawberries and place in a small bowl with sherry and 1 tablespoon sugar. Stir and let macerate for 20 minutes.
- Drain macerated strawberries in a sieve set over a bowl, reserving syrup.
- Beat cream in a chilled bowl until it just holds stiff peaks. Beat reserved syrup into the cream.
- Place meringues on serving plates. Top with macerated strawberries and spoon cream mixture over top. Garnish plates with halved strawberries.
