In this episode of Inn the Wild, Laurie and Jason discuss wild flowers, flea markets and artsy events, mid-night awakenings; and as always, questions from guests and listeners. The recipe of the week is Vanilla Meringues.

VANILLA MERINGUES

Prep Time: 30 minutes

Servings: 30

Ingredients:

• 1 1/4 c sugar
• 1 tsp cornstarch
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 tsp white vinegar
• 2 egg whites
• 5 tbsp + 1 tsp boiling water

Steps:

1. Before beginning, make sure all equipment and utensils are completely clean and grease free as it can prevent the meringues from baking correctly.

2. Place all ingredients in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat at high speed for 15 minutes.

3. After 15 minutes, put a star tip in a pastry bag, fill with the meringue and pipe in a circular motion to create rosettes.

4. Bake in a 300 degree oven for 30 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool. They will be very fragile after they are baked.
