Pavlova topping....?

[AnonymousBird]

Ideas anyone for topping a pavlova? I'm doing one of the puddings for a "do" on Friday and I know for a fact that the other pudding already involves raspberries and strawberries which is what I would normally use on a pavlova, so want to try something different.....

Obviously want it to be colourful, so was thinking grapes and clementine segments possibly, but open to other suggestions! TIA.

Passionfruit? It's quite sharp so cuts through the sweetness of the meringue and cream and also makes a nice crunch.

Passionfruit... nice. thanks. Also has a nice look...

Thinking along those lines, what about pomegranate intead/as well?

might not be so good if you're expecting lots of false teeth wearers amongst the guests though!

What about rhubarb? It's coming into season now. Stew with a little sugar and leave to go cold, it will be nice and tart against the cream and sweet pavlova base. Omm nom nom :)

Definitely passion fruit. It's perfect on a pavlova.

banana and ginger 9the one preserved in jars) yummy!

mango and passionfruit make a unusual combination of colour and taste - the crunchy sharpness of the passionfruit cuts through the sweet, slightly solid taste of the mango. Frozen mango segments are fine if you can't find fresh, and you can mix mascarpone with the cream to give it another dimension.

I think I'd avoid fruits with watery acidic juice like tangerines, just in case it makes the cream separate (showing my childhood ishoos with Birds Trifle there)

As an Australian I am

There are RULES

whipped cream, quartered strawberries, passionfruit pulp drizzelled over the top.

That is all.

I love passionfruit with rich or creamy dishes but only if the seeds are sieved out.
The Nigella Pavlova that she scoops the passionfruit onto makes me -vomit, not jealous!

I like the Easi-Yo passionfruit Fruits Squierts on trifle but without seeds.

Not too colourful but pear halves (tinned) and chocolate sauce drizzled is lovely!!!

mixed berries cooked with port, orange juice, root ginger, cinammon, nutmeg and cloves - like a mulled wine kind of flavour, plus a little bit of sugar but you want to keep it reasonably sharp/sour.

I did raspberries and blueberries for christmas which looked good (IMO )

Blueberries?

yep the soft sweetness of the blueberris with the sharpness of raspberries was gorgeous

Kiwi always looks good.
