📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat oven to 225°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment. Microwave preserves in a microwave-safe dish until just warm, about ⏱️ 30 seconds. Pour through a fine wire-mesh strainer into a bowl; discard solids.

Whisk together granulated sugar and cornstarch in a bowl. Beat egg whites on medium-high speed with an electric mixer, until foamy, about ⏱️ 1 minute. Add cream of tartar and salt, beating until blended. Reduce mixer speed to medium and gradually add sugar mixture, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until mixture is glossy, stiff peaks form, and sugar dissolves,1 to ⏱️ 2 minutes. Beat in vanilla.

Drizzle one-quarter of preserves in a zigzag pattern onto meringue. Scoop 2 portions of meringue mixture (about 1/3 cup each) onto prepared baking sheet. Make an indentation in center of each meringue to hold filling. Repeat procedure 3 more times.

Bake until pale golden and outsides have formed a crust, ⏱️ 1 hour ⏱️ 15 minutes to ⏱️ 1 hour ⏱️ 30 minutes. Turn oven off; let meringues stand in oven, with door closed and light on, ⏱️ 12 hours.
