Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 120 ÀöC.
  2. Whip the egg whites in a clean, grease-free bowl until soft peaks form. Once soft peaks appear, add the sugar one spoonful at a time. Continue whipping until a thick and firm foam forms. Mix the vinegar with the cornstarch to a smooth paste, add this to the meringue, and mix briefly.
  3. Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Draw a 20 cm circle on the parchment paper.
  4. Spread the foam over the circle with a spatula. Bake the Pavlova in the oven for 90 minutes. Let it cool in the oven.
  5. Peel the pears and remove the core. Place them in a pan with water. Add all ingredients (except the cornstarch) and stew the pears for 2.5 hours until tender. Strain the liquid. Discard half and return the other half to the pan. Add the cornstarch and bring the mixture to a boil. Let the sauce thicken.
  6. Whip the cream with the sugar until stiff. Spread the whipped cream over the Pavlova.
  7. Place the stewed pears on top and garnish with a drizzle of sauce and the chopped pistachios.
