Be sure to break your egg whites carefully, using an egg separator or your hand, to make sure you don't get any yolk particles into the egg whites, or they won't peak properly.

Ingredients

1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
3 egg whites (large)
2/3 cup sugar
pinch of salt
1 teaspoon vanilla

Preparation

Separate egg whites from egg yolks.
Beat egg whites with an electric mixer until foamy, adding cream of tartar as you whisk the egg whites.
Important: Make sure cream of tartar does not get stuck on the sides--stop the mixer as needed to scrape.
Once it has soft, foamy peaks, slowly add sugar.
Continue to beat until peaks form, then add 1 teaspoon vanilla and a pinch of salt.
Pillow meringue onto top of cranberries.
Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes or until meringue is nicely browned.
Serve cold.
