04 - 1 teaspoon white vinegar
05 - 1 teaspoon cornstarch

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Beat egg whites at medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, until stiff, glossy peaks develop. Gently fold in vanilla extract, white vinegar, and cornstarch. Spoon dollops onto baking sheet forming thick clusters. Bake for 1½ hours. Turn off oven, crack door slightly, and allow meringues to cool completely inside.
02 - In a chilled bowl, beat heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Refrigerate until assembly.
03 - Combine strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and pomegranate arils in a bowl. Toss with granulated sugar and orange zest. Set aside.
04 - In a large trifle dish or individual glasses, layer crumbled meringue pieces, followed by whipped cream, then the fruit mixture. Repeat layers, finishing with a top layer of whipped cream and fruit.
05 - Decorate with fresh mint leaves and additional berries or pomegranate arils for a festive touch. Serve immediately to preserve texture.

# Handy Tips:

01 - Prepare the meringue a day ahead and store in an airtight container at room temperature to streamline preparation.
02 - Substitute fruit varieties as desired, such as cherries or kiwi, for flavor variation.
