This time with leftover egg whites from another recipe, I have made Berry Meringues
I added a couple of teaspoons of Supercassis to each of the berry filled ramekins for the grownups!
A bag of frozen mixed berries always comes in very useful for rustling up some last minute muffins. Summer pudding and berry crumble are also very successful. Another quick favourite is a meringue nest filled with sweetened defrosted berries and topped with Greek yogurt. The list of possibilities from just one frozen bag of mixed berries is endless - definitely one of my freezer favourites.
