For the Meringue:

6 egg whites 1 c super-fine sugar (caster sugar), or granulated is OK
2 t corn starch 1 t white vinegar

Separate the eggs when they are cold and then let them come to room temperature before proceeding. Make sure the bowl is completely clean and grease-free, and maybe give it a good wipe with a cut lemon to be sure. Preheat the oven to 250. Put a piece of baking paper on a cookie sheet and trace around a big plate to put a circle in the middle.

Beat eggs whites till fluffy, and then begin to add the sugar by tablespoonfuls, and keep beating till the mixture is glossy and stiff.

Gently fold in the vinegar and corn starch. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to put a generous half of the egg-white mixture on the sheet so it fills up the circle evenly. Then spoon the remaining stuff around the edge, forming a rim. Bake for 1 hr 15 minutes, and then prop the door of the oven open with a wooden spoon handle and let cool completely.

For the Cranberry Curd:
1 12-oz bag fresh cranberries Juice of one lemon
1 c sugar 2 t cornstarch
2/3 c water 4 egg yolks
6 T unsalted butter, cut into cubes

Bring cranberries, lemon juice, sugar and water to a boil in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook for 5 minutes or so, partially covering with a pan lid since the cranberries will pop. Smash them around with a wooden spoon. Force the berry mixture through a fine sieve into a bowl; clean the pot. Mix up the yolks with a whisk and add them to the cooled berry mixture. Return the mixture to the clean pan and cook over medium heat for about 4 minutes more, stirring constantly. The curd should thicken slightly, but don’t let it boil. If you draw your finger down the back of the wooden spoon it should leave a clean trail in the curd.
Pour the cranberry curd into a bowl and add the butter a few pieces at a time, whisking all the while, until all have been incorporated; put a piece of plastic wrap over the surface of the curd and refrigerate till very cold.

To Assemble:
