Pineapple-Strawberry-Kiwi Pavlova image

"My mother was taught to make this attractive dessert by my sister, who learned to prepare it from her Australian mother-in-law. Make sure, when you beat the sugar into the egg whites, that all the sugar is dissolved or the pavlova will be sticky." -Kathy Spang, Manheim, Pennsylvania
