HOLIDAY MERINGUE DESSERT
THIS RECIPE was featured in one of Grandma's favorite cookbooks from the '50s. It's become our traditional dessert for Christmas dinner and seems appropriate for the season since the meringue shells look like mounds of snow. Whatever the topping, it's very festive. -Catherine Morrison, Newport, Pennsylvania
