Instructions
Combine 2/3 of the strawberries and raspberries in a mixing bowl. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the sugar over the berries and gently mash with a spoon until the juices are released and the mixture is still chunky. Set aside. In a bowl of a stand mixer, pour in the cold cream, sugar and vanilla and whisk until soft peaks are formed. Coarsely chop the meringues and spoon 1/2 of the chopped meringues at the bottom of 4 serving glasses, Spoon or pipe 1/2 of the whipped cream on top of the meringues, followed with the berry mixture and repeat with the remaining ingredients. Finish by garnishing the tops with the remaining berries, 1 whole meringue and kumquats, if desired. Chill for 30 minutes before serving. **For the candied kumquats, combine 8 oz. halved and seeded kumquats with 3/4 cup sugar and 1/2 cup of water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and then simmer over low heat for 15-20 minutes. Remove from heat and cool to room temp. Cover and chill until ready to use.View original recipe
