Ingredients

  • egg whites
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup peach preserves
  • ½ cup strawberries chopped
  • cup kiwi chopped
  • cup blueberries fresh
  • cup mandarin oranges drained
  • ½ cup pineapple chunks, drained

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 275 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • Add egg whites, vanilla and cream of tartar to a mixing bowl. Using a whisk, beat the eggs until soft peaks form, about 2 minutes. Add sugar and continue to beat until stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes. Scrape the bowl down halfway through whisking.
  • Add meringue to a large pastry bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe 3" rounds onto prepared baking sheet until you have 8 rounds. Add a second layer on top of the first to use up the meringue.
  • Bake for about 40-45 minutes or until dry. Turn off oven and leave meringue tarts inside. Let stand in oven for an hour to cool.
  • Remove from oven and top each meringue with 1 tablespoon peach preserves. Add fresh fruit on the top and serve immediately.
