Cinnamon Meringues

3 egg whites
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 cup sugar
1/8 teaspoon

Berry Mixture

1 package frozen berry blend
1/4 cup red wine
1 fresh-ground pepper

Directions

Make the meringues ahead of time: Beat egg whites until foamy and then add the vanilla, cinnamon, and cream of tartar. Beat until soft peaks form. Add the sugar a little at a time, beating until stiff peaks form.

Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper. Spoon enough of the mixture to create a 4-inch circle. Using a spoon, make a well into the center of each. Bake for 1 1/2 hours at 175 degrees. Do not open the oven door. Turn off the oven and leave meringues inside the door for another 1 1/2 hours.

Meanwhile, stir the berries, wine and pepper together and let berries infuse in the juice in the refrigerator. Pour berry mixture on top of cinnamon cloud meringues.
