Ingredients
  • 1 16 ounce package frozen strawberries, partially thawed
  • 1/2 cup  strawberry jelly
  • 2 cups  fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1/2 17.3ounce package frozen puff pastry, thawed (1 sheet)
  • 1 tablespoon  cornstarch
  • 3/4 cup  sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon  cream of tartar
  • 6 egg whites
  • 1 teaspoon  vanilla
  • 8 fresh whole strawberries
Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Blend or process frozen strawberries and jelly until smooth. Stir in sliced berries; cover and refrigerate.

Remove top baking sheet; bake 4 minutes more. Remove from oven; let stand on sheet. Reduce oven to 325 degrees F.

In bowl combine sugar and cream of tartar; set aside. In large mixing bowl beat egg whites and vanilla on medium to high until frothy. Gradually beat in sugar mixture until soft peaks form. Add cornstarch mixture; beat to stiff peaks. Spoon on pastry; bake meringue 15 minutes. Serve pastries warm with sauce; top with fresh whole strawberry. Serves 8.
