FRUIT SALAD WITH LEMON SAUCE AND MERINGUE

Fruktsallad med citronsås och maräng

Serves 4

2 cups strawberries

1 nectarine

2 cups raspberries

2 tablespoons sugar

fresh juice from 1 orange

Lemon sauce:

0.8 cup heavy cream

3 egg yolks

grated zest from ½ lemon

1 teaspoon potato starch

1 tablespoon sugar

Meringue:

3 egg whites

0.2 cup sugar

For serving:

whipped cream or ice cream

Preheat oven to 392F.

Trim the strawberries. Split the nectarine, remove the stone and dice the pulp. Put fruit and berries in a bowl and sprinkle with sugar, pour on the orange juice and blend well. Leave for 30 minutes.

Lemon sauce:

Mix cream, egg yolks, lemon zest, potato starch and sugar in a saucepan. Simmer over low heat while stirring until the creme thickens. Allow to cool.

Divide fruit and berries in 4 oven-proof serving bowls or in a large bowl. Pour the lemon sauce over the berries.

Meringue:

Beat the egg whites until stiff. Add the sugar, little by little, while beating to a glossy meringue. Pipe it over the lemon sauce and bake in the oven for about 5 minutes until the surface is nicely colored. 

Serve straight from the oven with whipped cream or ice cream. 

Enjoy!
