Fruit Meringue Kebabs

1. 1

   Preheat the broiler and position a rack in the lower third of the oven.

2. 2

   In a large stainless steel bowl, using a hand-held electric mixer, beat the egg whites at medium speed until soft peaks form.

3. 3

   Beat in the sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time and beating thoroughly between additions.

4. 4

   Increase the speed to high and beat the whites until they are glossy and hold firm peaks, 2 to 3 minutes longer.

5. 5

   Arrange the apple halves on a sturdy baking sheet, cut sides down.

6. 6

   Slide 2 of the strawberries and 2 pieces of the pineapple, mango and banana onto each of 4 wooden skewers.

7. 7

   Using a butter knife or a small offset spatula, spread the meringue evenly over the fruit in a thick layer.

8. 8

   Stick the skewers into the apple halves to keep the kebabs upright; don't let the kebabs touch each other.

9. 9

   Broil the kebabs for about 30 seconds, turning the pan as necessary, until the meringue is golden and caramelized in spots.

10. 10

    Alternatively, brown the meringue with a small blowtorch.

    Serve the fruit kebabs right away.
