Eton Mess

Directions

1. 1
   Hull and quarter the strawberries and place in a bowl with the balsamic and sugar; mix together gently. Set aside.
2. 2
   In a large mixing bowl, whip the cream until it is thick but still soft. Bash up the meringues into small chunks and dump into the cream. Add raspberries and strawberries (leaving a few aside to garnish if you want to be all posh) and fold together gently.
3. 3
   Serve immediately (you can make it in advance if you want, but the meringues will go soft).
4. 4
   I use the store-bought meringues but you can make your own if you want, or if you screwed up a pavlova, use that instead.
