Methods
1
Pre-heat an oven to 170c.

Place the meringue into the oven and bake for 1hr & 10 minutes, then turn off the oven and prop the door open slightly and allow to cool in the oven for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, whip the cream to medium soft peaks, set aside in the fridge. Place the strawberries into a medium mixing

bowl and drizzle over the Vino Cotto and allow to marinate for 10 minutes before garnishing & serving.

Once the pavlova has cooled, place it onto a serving plate / platter, then top with whipped cream. Lightly touch the top with a blowtorch (or under the grill), then place the Vino Cotto strawberries on top.

Note: the pavlova can be made a week ahead of time and placed into an airtight container and stored in the freezer.
