| 1. Preheat oven to fan 120C / conventional 140C / gas 1. | 2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and draw a circle (diameter = 23cm). | 3. Brush circle with a thin film of oil. | 4. In a small bowl, blend the cornflour, vanilla extract and vinegar to a smooth paste. | 5. In a separate clean bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff (you may add a pinch of salt to speed the process up). | 6. Gradually whisk in the sugar a little at a time. | 7. Then whisk in the cornflour paste until well combined. | 8. Spoon the mixture onto the parchment paper, then spread it onto the drawn circle. | 9. Swirl the edges with the back of the spoon to give lovely soft folds and peaks. | 10. Scatter half the pistachios over the meringue and bake for 1 hour, by which time it will feel crisp if you tap it. | 11. Turn off the oven, but leave the Pavlova inside to cool, with the oven door open. | 12. Set aside 450g (1lb) of the apricots and roughly chop the rest, discarding stones. | 13. Purée the chopped apricots, then push them through a sieve with a metal spoon. | 14. Stir in the liqueur and sweeten with 3tbsp icing sugar, or enough to sweeten as you like it. | 15. Lightly whip the cream so it's soft and billowy, then spoon over the the pavlova. Cut the reserved 450g (1lb) apricots in half, discard stones, then cut into wedges. | 16. Scatter over the whipped cream along with the remaining pistachios. Dust with remaining icing sugar and serve with the apricot purée. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
