Melange: Strawberry Eton Mess

Strawberry Eton Mess

Recipes appeal to me sometimes because of an unusual ingredient or a quirky name.Example the rhubarb jam I made with jello..
This is the first of the season's strawberries - luscious aren't they?

Started to think of new recipes been wanting to try.
So first up my version of Eton Mess. Eton Mess just what kind of a name is that?
Heck, if it is good enough to be made by the likes of Ina Garten and Jamie Oliver then it is good enough for me.

3 simple ingredients in a tall glass ,which makes it look so elegant . Can tell your guests you slaved all day in the kitchen, they will never know !

Fresh strawberries
Whipped 35% cream
Meringues, broken up ( used Presidents Choice meringue nests)

This dessert is so easy and good it should be illegal! Bad name and all.

On the agenda next Strawberry Pizza.....

now I'm going to be thinking of this dessert all night, lol!
