Directions

  1. 1Pre-heat your fan-assisted oven to 100C/ 212F (if you are using a conventional oven go a little higher at 120C/ 248F).
  2. 2Add egg whites and caster sugar to a standing mixer and mix on high.
  3. 3Set a timer for 10 minutes.
  4. 4Scrape down the sides of your bowl about 5 minutes in.
  5. 5Once the 10 minutes is up and the meringue has formed firm peaks - keep mixing for another minute or so if 10 minutes isn’t enough, turn the mixer off.
  6. 6Add cornflour, vanilla extract and apple cider vinegar.
  7. 7Mix again for 30 seconds until all combined.
  8. 8Place into a large piping bag (I had to use two different bags) and pipe (or just spoon) on a baking paper lined tray into a wreath shape.
  9. 9Place in the oven for 1 hr 45 mins.
  10. 10Then turn the oven off and leave it in there for a few hours to completely cool (leave overnight ideally) - don’t open the oven door!
  11. 11Make the raspberry sauce by adding frozen raspberries, lemon juice and sugar to a saucepan on medium heat for around 5 minutes until a sauce has formed.
  12. 12Then turn off the heat and blend the sauce.
  13. 13When ready to serve, whip your cream and get it on the pavlova followed by the sauce, fresh raspberries, cherries (some halved) and some icing sugar!
  14. 14Serve.
