STUCK ON YOU BABY KISSES
Whites from 3 large eggs
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp almond extract
1/4 tsp liquid red food color
3 tbs strawberry jam
Heat oven to 225 degrees. 2 baking sheets lined with nonstick foil. Beat egg whites with cream of tartar in a large bowl until soft peaks form. Add sugar and beat 8 min. or until stiff white glossy peaks form and mixture no longer feels grainy. Beat in almond extract and food color until blended.
Spoon into a large ziptop bag, snip 1/2 inch off 1 corner and pipe 72 small mounds each 1 inch across on baking sheets. Bake 1 3/4 hour or until meringues feel firm. Turn off oven, leave meringues in oven 1 hour or overnight until kisses are dry and crisp all the way through. Peel off foil.
SHORTLY BEFORE SERVING: Put 1/4 tsp jam on bottom of 1 meringue, sandwich with another meringue. Repeat with remaining meringues and jam. Garnish with fresh strawberries. MAKES 36.*
