mixed berry pavlova
I think it pretty much goes without saying that I wasn’t going to be allowed to show up to my parent’s seder tonight without , but when my mother came down at the end of last week with both bronchitis conjunctivitis in both eyes, did not consider this, perhaps, a sign from above that she would be given a pass on the thirteen-guest dinner tonight and insisted upon foraging ahead, she asked if I could attack the second dessert we’d decided upon–the mighty pavlova–as she wanted to wait until she was no longer contagious to start cooking. I thought that was mighty considerate of her, and of course, had been chomping at the bit to make it anyhow, so I didn’t mind.

Ingredients
- 4 large (120 grams) egg whites
- Pinch of salt
- 1 cup (200 grams) superfine (castor) or regular sugar
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch, potato starch or arrowroot powder
- 1 10-ounce bag frozen raspberries, thawed
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 99 percent of the time, I find the consistency of this sauce to be perfect, as is. If you like your thicker, add between one-half and one full teaspoon of cornstarch, potato starch or arrowroot powder to thicken it, stirring to make sure it’s fully dissolved.
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 tablespoon granulated white sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 pint fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1/2 pint fresh blueberries
- 1/2 pint fresh raspberries
