How to Make Fruit Gratin

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Clean and chop 4 cups of your favorite fruits. If using peaches, remove the pits.
  3. In an oven-safe dish, combine the chopped fruit and 1 cup of crumbled macaroons.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of orange juice and 1 tablespoon of lemon zest. Pour over the fruit and macaroon mixture; let it sit for 30 minutes.
  5. In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat 3 large egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gradually add 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, beating until glossy and smooth.
  6. Spread the meringue evenly over the fruit mixture, creating a decorative pattern if desired.
  7. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the meringue is lightly golden brown.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh mint sprigs and a scoop of vanilla or cinnamon ice cream.
