Eton Mess

List of Ingredients




Strawberries (quartered) [ I use a large punnet about 1 lb]

Double (Heavy Cream) 1 pint

Meringue [ this can be any kind as it has to be broken, I
usually use the small meringue shells]



Recipe



Take your prettiest glass serving dish and break the meringues into it. Chop the strawberries. Whip the cream to the sloppy stage [ where is holds soft peaks but not stiff] Add strawberries and cream to meringues and stir together. Chill for about 1 hour and serve.

from Gill who states "As far as I know this recipe comes from Eton School near London, where is was served to the boys."
