Australians and New Zealanders both claim Pavlova to be their own. It is named after a famous Russian ballerina, Anna Pavlova. The meringue is crisp on the outside and chewy on the inside. Best made on a day without high humidity. For a Rocky Mountain version, use a mixture of huckleberries or blueberries and strawberries.
