Can we talk about pavlova for a moment? Fluffy meringue, silky cream and sweet fruit - it's a dessert we never, ever tire of.

3 eggwhites
250g caster sugar
1 tsp vinegar
1 tsp vanilla extract
Whipped cream, to serve

Cherry sauce

200ml red wine
200g caster sugar
2 cinnamon quills
500g fresh cherries, pitted (or 250g bottled pitted cherries)
1 tbs cornflour

Method

1.

Preheat oven to 120°C. Grease and line a large baking tray.
2.

Using electric beaters, beat eggwhites and a pinch of salt together until soft peaks form.Add caster sugar a tablespoon at a time, until stiff and glossy. Fold in vinegar and vanilla.
3.

Spread pavlova mixture in a circle on the tray and bake for 1½ hours or until crisp but not coloured. Cool completely in the switched-off oven.
4.

For sauce, bring red wine, 500ml water, Caster Sugar, cinnamon and cherries to the boil in a pan over medium heat. Simmer for 5 minutes. Mix cornflour with a little water to form a paste, then stir into sauce to thicken. Cool.
