1 env. (1 tbsp.) unflavored gelatin
1 pt. fresh strawberries, crushed
3 egg whites
1/4 tsp. cream of tartar
1/3 c. sugar

In saucepan blend 2/3 cup sugar, gelatin and berries. Cook medium heat, stirring constantly, JUST until mix boils. Place pan in bowl of ice water or refrigerate, stirring occasionally until mix mounds when dropped from spoon. Beat egg whites and cream of tartar until frothy. Beat in 1/3 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time until stiff and glossy. Do not under beat.
