Easter is past, but you should still be abkle to find the rhubarb,    and other PINK fruits that make this delicious dessert, I did!

This tutorial is soley Cherry Menlove's, please be sure to give her credit! I only want to share this lovely website and recipe with you all!

The yummy ingredients are:

•400g rhubarb

•4 passion fruits

•2 tblsp caster sugar

•6 large free range egg whites

•300g caster sugar

•Pink food colouring

•385g Jam & Cream swiss roll/sponge cake
•Pre-heat oven to 150c


•Whisk all the the egg whites together until they form stiff peaks. Don’t over whisk though as you still need to add the sugar, you’ll know when the peaks are stiff as you’ll be able to see it.

•A few minutes into whisking add a few drops of pink food colouring to give the meringue a lovely rosy hue. You’ll need to use your judgment on the colouring as I have no idea what type you’ll be using.

•Add the caster sugar one tablespoon at a time continuing to whisk gently as the sugar is added

•Cover a large baking tray with a greaseproof paper or non-stick lining.

•Spoon the mixture onto it creating your pavlova sized mound of meringue

•Turn the oven down to 130c and bake for approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes or until it starts to brown on top

Note: For fan assisted ovens you will need to reduce the baking time by around 20 minutes.



•Whilst the pavlova is baking, wash and cut the rhubarb, into 2 inch pieces, and then add to a large saucepan.

•Sprinkle the two tablespoons of caster sugar over the rhubarb and place the pan onto a low heat and let the rhubarb simmer in its own juices until it is soft but not sloppy. This should take around 8-10 minutes.

•Once the rhubarb has stewed set aside to cool.
•On a large platter or cake-stand, cut the swiss roll / sponge cake into slices (approx 1 inch thick) and lay the slices flat around the platter/cake-stand, until it is covered. This will make the base of the dessert.

•Remove the baked meringue from the oven and set to one side allowing to cool completely before you remove it from the greaseproof paper.

•Once cooled place the meringue on top of the sponge base

•Halve the passion fruits and spoon the pips and the juices onto the top of the dessert

•Then, spoon the cooled stewed rhubarb over the top too.

•Enjoy the decadence and feel more than free to add a good quality vanilla ice-cream or whipped cream.

The flavours of the fruits used go perfectly with the sweet sugary gooey and crispy meringue base.

Mouth watering yet?

A pink slice of life!

My week has been filled with happy moments and frustrating ones. Trying to find a car and be financed after being ruined financially be a former spouse makes life a nightmare. Cross your fingers for me, I might have a cosigner and a car by Wednesday next week. I fly to Chicago on Thursday for my doctoral residency. Excited and scared too... My kidney stones are still with me and they hurt. Had a second cat csan yesterday, on muscle relaxers from the car accident and pain meds for the stones. I overslept again, and that is why this post is late. Two papers to finish today, and I am working half the day too, to make up for lost time...

I will be on the road again...

My Marine son Joey is entering North Marja by now, in one of the hottest spots in this Aghanian war...

Please lift him and our other men and women up in prayers and praise for all they do while serving America.

Remember where our liberty comes from these sodiers, Marines, cavalry, seals, coast guards,  cadets, rangers, military intelligence, and every other branch I haven't mentioned.

Valrie over at http://poemsmyway-valrie.blogspot.com is sponsoring a Cookies for Troops Campaaign. Her son is a US Marine recently deployed to Afghanistan in the north Marja region. She has a goal to send her son's unit or your daughter or son or other loved ones serving our country a monthly care package of sweet treats filled in cookie cans or pringle cans. The plastic kind are better and withstand temperature changes better, such as Folger's. If you would like to donate your cans or cookies please contact her here!

Group leaders are needed and this is also an excellent student learning service project for all you parents and educators out there!

Thanks and have a wonderful PS!
