Stewed Rhubarb and Raspberries with a Meringue Lattice Crust is a tangy-sweet dessert featuring tender rhubarb and juicy raspberries beneath a light, golden meringue lattice.

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 pounds fresh rhubarb (about 6 stalks) or 4 cups frozen, cut into 1-inch pieces

• 1 pint fresh raspberries

• 3/4 cup sugar

• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

• 2 cups meringue (made from egg whites and sugar for the lattice)

Directions

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
• In a large saucepan, combine the rhubarb, raspberries, sugar, and flour. Cook over medium heat for 8-10 minutes until the fruit begins to break down and thicken. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
• Pour the stewed fruit mixture into a baking dish and set aside.
• Prepare the meringue by beating egg whites and sugar until stiff peaks form. Using a piping bag or spoon, create a lattice pattern over the fruit mixture.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the meringue is golden and crisp.
• Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
