Method
Techniques
- strawberries
Hull the strawberries; halve the small ones and quarter the large ones.
Macerating the strawberries
- granulated sugar
- 1–2 tbsp lemon
- meringue
Sprinkle with granulated sugar, enough to coat, toss, and squeeze over a tablespoon or two of lemon; leave to macerate until the berries give off their juices and a syrup forms.
- cream
Whip unsweetened cream to soft peaks, starting slow and increasing speed as it thickens.
Break the crisp meringues into the whipped cream and fold together until incorporated.
Layer a big dollop of the cream and meringue in the bottom of a glass, then the berries and their juices.
