Honeydew Meringues

This is a fun way to dress up a fruit salad. Enjoy!
Serves 4

1 6-oz carton of fruit flavored yogurt
4 c. cantaloupe chunks
4 c. berries (any combo of blackberries, raspberries, strawberries or blueberries)
2 honeydew melons
4 egg whites
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. cream of tartar
1/2 c. sugar

1. Combine the yogurt, cantaloupe and berries. Cut honedydew melons in half, scoop out the pulp and fill with berry mixture.
2. Beat egg whites with vanilla and cream of tartar until frothy. Gradually beat in sugar, a little at a time. Beat until all sugar is dissolved and meringue is stiff and glossy.
3. Spread the meringue on top of the filling and rim of the melon.
4. Bake at 425 for 5 to 6 minutes or until meringue is golden.
