Canned Pear Meringues Recipe 1

Instructions

1. From a thin sheet or slices of sponge cake, cut out shapes, rounded at one end and pointed at the other, like the shape of half a pear, but larger.
2. Upon these dispose halves of cooked pears, from which the core has been taken.
3. Fill the core spaces with fine-chopped, preserved ginger and pipe meringue mixture above, to cover the tops of the pieces of pear.
4. Dredge both cake and pear with granulated sugar and set into the oven to cook the meringue.
5. The dish should stand in the oven eight or ten minutes before browning.
6. Serve with the syrup from the pears, or with boiled custard.
