Meringue Nests with Yogurt and Berry Sauce

Preheat oven to 250 degrees.  In large bowl, beat egg whites until foamy; add cream of tartar.  Beat to soft peak stage.  Add 3/4 cup sugar 1 tbsp at a time, beating after each addition.  Beat until stiff peaks form.  


Form 6 piles of meringue on a parchment-lined baking sheet.  Shape the piles into nests.  Bake for 1 hour.  Turn off heat and leave in oven for 2 to 3 hours or overnight.


Drain berries, reserving juice.  Whisk together juice and cornstarch.  Combine juice, berries and remaining 2 tbsp sugar in a small saucepan.  Cook over medium heat until thickened.


To serve, top each nest with yogurt and berry sauce.
