Ingredients

  • 4 meringue nests
  • 1 cup strawberries
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp lemon juice

Instructions

  1. 1

    Hull and slice 1 cup strawberries; set aside a few slices for garnish. Place the rest in a small saucepan with 2 tbsp sugar and 1 tsp lemon juice.

  2. 2

    Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the berries soften and release juice, about 5 minutes. Mash lightly with a fork to make a chunky sauce.

  3. 3

    Spoon the warm strawberry sauce into the 4 meringue nests, dividing evenly. Top with the reserved fresh strawberry slices and serve immediately.
