Here the pomegranates are in season so if you don't find now you can make next Fall or with pomegranate syrup (in stores).
These meringues are absolutely delicious.
Other lovely recipe from Manger
Pomegranate meringues
For the meringues
6 extra-large egg whites, at room temperature
1 + 1/2 tsp cornflour
1/2 tsp red food colouring
A pinch of fine salt
320 g/ 1 1/2 cups sugar
2 pomegranates, seeds only
350 ml/ 1 1/2 cups whipping cream
6 extra-large egg whites, at room temperature
1 + 1/2 tsp cornflour
1/2 tsp red food colouring
A pinch of fine salt
320 g/ 1 1/2 cups sugar
2 pomegranates, seeds only
350 ml/ 1 1/2 cups whipping cream
Pomegranate and orange blossom water syrup:
Juice of 2 or 3 fresh pomegranates
1 1/2 tbsp orange blossom water or only wate
Juice of 2 or 3 fresh pomegranates
1 1/2 tbsp orange blossom water or only wate
5 tbsp sugar
Preheat the oven to 140° C. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Meringues:(makes about 5-6 meringues)
In a large glass bowl, whisk the egg whites (I use a pair of electric whisks) and salt on a high-speed until frothy – try to keep the whisk position as horizontal as possible.
Add the cornflour and sugar (1-2 tbsp at a time) gradually and continue whisking.
You should add the sugar in small quantities until the end of the process. When the egg whites form stiff peaks (this usually takes about 10-15 minutes), gently fold in the red food colouring, creating swirls.
With the help of two large slotted spoons, spoon the egg whites onto the parchment-lined baking tray. The meringues should be about 10-12 cm large and 6 cm high. ‘Twirl’ your spoon around and finish off with a spiky peak.
Bake for about 1 hour. Switch off the oven, and leave them to cool inside the oven with the door slightly open for 15 minutes.

Mimi said she prefer use for meringues food colorings because pomegranate juice affected the texture of meringues.

En español
Merengues con jugo y semillas de granada
Hace un tiempo realmente comiamos las granadas tal cual (y cuesta con las semillas) pero son tan ricas
y siempre he encontrado precioso el color.
Bueno desde el año pasado descubrí que se pueden hacer cosas preciosas con las granadas (hasta se pueden congelar las semillas)
Asi que dejé guardadas algunas recetas para esta temporada
y esta es una receta absolutamente deliciosa en que se ocupan las semillas y se hace un jarabe con ellas también.
Y es tan lindo el color.
Ingredientes
6 claras grandes a temperatura ambiente
1 1/" cucharada de maicena
6 o 7 gotas de colorante para comidas
color rojo
una pizca de sal
1 1/2 taza de azúcar
2 granadas (las semillas)
1 1/2 taza de crema batida
Jarabe de granada
Jugo de 2 granadas
4 cucharadas de azucar
1 1/2 cucharadas de agua o agua de azahar
Preparacion
En un bol grande batir las claras con la pizca de sal hasta tener un merengue suave y firme.(batidora)
Agregar de a poco la maicena (por cucharadas) y el azúcar.
Despues de batir bien la mezcla de merengue con la maicena y azúcar (unos 10 minutos)
Agregar con cuidado las gotas de colorante rojo la idea no es teñir el merengue es hacer como dibujos solo mezclar un poco.
Preparar una bandeja de horno con papel mantequilla y con la ayuda de dos cucharas ir colocando en la bandeja como unos nidos de merengues (con un poco de separación)
son como 6 merengues.
Cocinar con horno muy suave (unos 140°) por una hora deben quedar firmes por fuera y suaves por dentro.
apagar el horno y dejar unos 15 minutos que se enfrien en el horno (la puerta entreabierta) antes de retirar.
Se bajan un poco pero no mucho.
Para el jarabe de granada
Hacer un jarabe con el jugo de 2 o 3 granadas (yo usé el exprimidor de limón y despues colé el jugo) que da super bien.
En una olla mediana poner a fuego suave el agua de azahar (o agua pura) el jarabe de granada y 4 cucharadas de azúcar hasta que este liquido se espese.
Despues dejar enfriar.
Para servir
Servir los merengues como se ve en la foto primero la crema batida luego el syrup o jarabe haciendo dibujos y decorar con semillas de granada encima.
Queda muy lindo!
(yo los dejé hasta la noche en el refrigerador y estaban bien! aunque lo ideal es preparar y servir.
these are so pretty - what a lovely idea to pair meringues with pomegranates!
