A nostalgic dessert combining tart rhubarb with sweet fluffy meringue.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups rhubarb, chopped
  • 1 cup sugar (for the rhubarb mixture)
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/2 cup sugar (for the meringue)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan, combine the rhubarb, 1 cup of sugar, water, cornstarch, and salt. Cook over medium heat. Stir frequently until the rhubarb is tender and the mixture thickens. Set it aside to cool.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  3. In a mixing bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining sugar while you’re mixing, keeping on until stiff peaks form (about 3-4 minutes).
  4. Once the rhubarb mixture has cooled, pour it into a baking dish. Spread the meringue over the top, making sure to seal the edges.
  5. Bake for about 10-15 minutes or until the meringue is lightly browned. Keep an eye on it, so it doesn’t over-brown.
  6. Allow cooling slightly before serving.

Notes

Use fresh rhubarb for better flavor and texture. You can add a splash of lemon juice for extra zing.
