Alexandra’s Mum, Jill's Pineapple Meringue




Our lovely friend Alexandra wrote this recipe into her first collection, when she left home in the 1980s.

Pineapple Meringue

Small tin crushed pineapple; ½ cup sugar; ½ cup milk; 1 dessertspn custard powder; 2 egg yolks

2 egg whites, beaten; 2 dessertsp sugar – beat; cinnamon

My additions: 

Combine first group of ingredients in a small saucepan, simmer until the custard is thick. Pour into a greased pie dish. Let cool. 

Beat egg whites until stiff, add the sugar (some people add a pinch of cream of tartar too), beat some more. Pour or pipe onto custard, sprinkle with a pinch of cinnamon. 

Bake at 180°C for about 10 minutes or until slightly golden, Anne
