From Murray V.F. Jones of the New Zealand Diabetes Association "Make sure
that the eggs are fresh and at room temperature," he cautions. "Try kiwi
fruit", he suggests, as a garnish. You'll need a piece of kitchen
parchment.
1. In a bowl, beat the egg whites until foamy. Add the sweetener and salt,
and continue beating. Beat in the cornstarch, vanilla and vinegar until
soft peaks form. Work quickly, and take care not to overbeat.
2. Rinse a piece of kitchen (grease proof) parchment with water. Place on a
baking pan.
3. Pile the egg white mixture onto the parchment in a 1 1/2 inch high
circle. Bake at 250F for 1 hour or until firm.
4. Remove from oven and cool in the pan. Invert on a platter and peel off
paper. Peel and slice the kiwis crosswise into circles, leave some round or
cut some in half. Arrange in attractive designs on the pavlova. Cut in four
portion. Serve cold.
