    Have you ever tried baking meringues? I've seen them in the bakery section of my super market and they are pretty pricey. Make them at home for a fraction of the cost with this Fall Meringue Recipe. In the past we have made Spring Meringues and now to celebrate the season, we decided to make Fall meringues. It's easy to give the traditional meringue recipe a Fall twist. Just add some food coloring and Fall themed sprinkles. These Fall Meringues are a hit with kids and adults alike!

    Fall Meringue Recipe

    To make these meringues you will need a mixer. I use my Kitchen Aid Mixer all the time and it is a must if you are making meringues.

    Meringues don't bake at a high heat. Instead they slowy bake at low heat. These meringues take two hours to cook in a 225 degree oven.
    The key to making meringues is to get the batter to form stiff peaks while mixing. The meringue should look like this before you move on to the next step. When I was separating the eggs, I got the smallest bit of egg yolk in the whites. I tried to beat it with the sugar for the longest time and peaks never formed. Your meringue will not stiffen if you even get a tiny bit of yolk in it.

    To make meringues in Fall colors, you'll need to divide the meringue into separate bowls (one for each colors you'll be making) and add a few drops of food coloring.

    You can scoop the meringue into a pastry bag and squeeze it out onto a greased cookie sheet. If you do not have a pastry bag, you can scoop a heaping tablespoon of the meringue onto a cookie sheet.

    Since this meringue recipe doesn't spread out much, you can place them fairly close together on the cookie sheet. Add some Fall colored sprinkles for some extra seasonal flair!

    DO YOUR KIDS LOVE COOKING?

    I have long been a proponent of cooking with kids. There are so many things kids learn helping out in the kitchen. Math, reading, chemistry and cooperation and more are used while following a recipe.

    ​Raddish is a monthly subscription box for kids that is a cooking club, culinary lesson, and mealtime solution all-in-one. Young children get to work with an adult, while older kids and teens independently indulge their culinary curiosity! And it's perfect for picky eaters — kids who cook, eat!

    ​A new kit is delivered to your doorstep every month​!

    Each kit features a new culinary theme! You'll also get a shopping list emailed to you prior to delivery so you will be ready to cook. These kits are a great way for kids to develop new cooking skills and confidence in the kitchen while the entire family builds memories together. Find out more here.
