Submitted by Kittencalrecipezazz

"I also like to drizzle a small amount of strawberry glaze over the strawberries --- you may make this using blueberries or raspberries also --- servings is only estimated :)"

This was my first pavlova, and I thought it was very good. The directions were right on and I was surprised that when serving it actually came off the wax paper nicely (unlike everything else I make on wax paper). The only thing I would do differently next time is spread the mixture in a smaller circle to get more of a soft center. Thanks for posting!
