Eton Mess with Raspberries and Pomegranate ( Postre de Frambesas y semillas de granada)

This is the typical dessert Eton mess (a delicious English dessert) with the variant that leads not only berries (raspberries) but pomegranate seeds.

Many are already in summer but here we started the winter in the southern hemisphere so we  have pomegranate .
Anyway you can make this dessert with  only raspberries or strawberries.
I love pomegranate seeds in desserts.
