  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 1/4 cup chambord liqueur
  • 2 egg whites, room temperature
  • 1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar

  2. Beat egg whites until frothy. Add cream of tartar and beat well.
  3. Add sugar, two tablespoons at a time, beating well after each addition.
  4. Continue beating until glossy and stiff peaks have formed.
  5. Using a spoon or pastry tube, shape meringue into nests on an unglazed paper-lined baking sheet.

  7. With a spoon, make a well in the center of each nest.
  8. Bake at 250 degrees F for 50 to 60 minutes, until meringues are firm and dry.
