Ingredients:
8 egg whites
1 Tbsp. white vinegar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 tsp. salt
2 c. sugar
3 c. sliced fresh strawberries
1 1/2 c. whipped cream

Directions:
Place egg whites in a large bowl and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.  Add the vinegar, vanilla and salt; beat on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in sugar, about 2 Tbsp. at a time, on high until stiff glossy peaks form and sugar is dissolved.

Spread into a greased 10 inch springform pan.  Bake at 300 degrees for 50-60 minutes or until lightly browned.  Remove to a wire rack to cool (meringue will fall).

Serve with strawberries and whipped cream.  Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
