    I have to agree with ShirleyW, it has to go in the oven for a crisping. I like a horseradish mustard, brown sugar, and dark beer bath. For the corned beef that is. And a big chunk of cabbage cooked with onions and then sprinkled with cayenne. Mmmmmmmmm. I got mine yesterday. Gonna make it Saturday, and definitely will have Guinness.

    Hey Low Key, have you ever seen or heard of Theakston's Old Peculiar??

    LKL: I was just presented last week with a limited edition bottling from Bushmills. A 20 yo single malt, rum-cask aged beauty. Number 33 of 1,000. Think I'll have some of that with my corned beef tonight.

    You're killing me!

    I officially hate you now, but of course that could change if you invite me over for a wee dram!

    I had it last year when I was in Scotland. Way too sweet & malty for my palate (I'm a dedicated hop-head).

    There is a pub here in Seattle called The Old Peculiar. That's what inspired me to try the beer when I saw it in Scotland.

    I used to be able to get it when I lived in San Fran, but that was years ago. I liked it much. But even better was the Theakston's Bitters. Mmmmmm

    Ingredients (serves 6)

    • 1 tablespoon cornflour
    • 6 eggwhites
    • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
    • 1 1/3 cups caster sugar
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
    • 200ml pure cream
    • 250g chopped fresh fruit
    Method
    1. Preheat oven to 200°C. Draw a 24cm (diameter) circle on a sheet of baking paper. Place, pencil-side down, on a baking tray. Dust lightly with 1 teaspoon cornflour.

    2. Using an electric mixer, beat eggwhites and cream of tartar in a large bowl until soft peaks form. Add sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating constantly until thick and glossy. Add remaining 3 teaspoons cornflour with the last tablespoon of sugar. Fold through vanilla and vinegar.

    3. Spoon meringue onto baking paper. Shape into a circle, using the pencil mark as a guide, with a slightly higher edge and a low centre. Reduce oven to 100°C. Bake for 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours or until dry and crisp. Turn off oven and open oven door. Cool completely in oven (pavlova may sink during cooling).

    4. Slide pavlova onto a serving plate. Spread with cream and top with fresh fruit. Serve.

    Enjoy!
