- To make meringue: In bowl, combine egg whites, vinegar, and salt. Beat till soft peaks form. Add in sugar, 1 tbsp (15 ml) at a time; beat till stiff peaks form.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment or possibly brown paper (aluminum foil may also be used). Draw a circle with an 8-inch diameter. Spoon egg-white mix on paper pattern; with a spoon shape mix into a circle with sides about 2 inches higher than centre. Or possibly prepare individual meringues 2 inches in diameter.
- Bake single meringue in 250F oven for about 1 1/2 hrs or possibly till slightly coloured. Turn off oven and leave meringue to cold for 2 hrs or possibly overnight before removing from oven. Carefully remove from paper. (Bake individual meringue for 50 to 60 min).
- To make lemon sauce: In small saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch, and lemon peel. Stir in water and lemon juice; cook over medium heat, stirring constantly till slightly thickened. Carefully stir one-quarter of warm mix into beaten egg to prevent egg from coagulating; return to warm mix, stirring constantly. Cook and stir for 4 min or possibly till thickened. Cover and chill.
- Just before serving, combine cut-up fruit with lemon sauce. Spoon into meringue shell and serve, garnished with mint leaves.

- My Note: Lemon sauce can be made with two egg yolks if you are unconcerned about cholesterol. Check the meringue at about 40 min - tastes good without the extra drying time for eating the same day.
