i don't really know how to make meringue, so that turned out kind of bad, it didn't ruin it though. i tried it both in a round baking pan and on a cookie sheet because that's how i've seen it done before. I used different fruit than in the recipe too. I used mango, berries and kiwi. It's a great dessert and easy, if you know how to make meringue.
