250 milliliters / 1 cup heavy cream

Instructions
Roasted Citrus
- Let’s begin with the roasted citrus, preheat your oven to 220C/430F.
- Peel the oranges and grapefruit and roughly slice or slice into segments and place in a baking dish.
- Sprinkle over the salt, sugar and rosemary.
- Place into the oven and bake for 25 minutes or until they are beginning to look slightly charred on the edges and there’s lots of juice in our dish.
- Remove and set aside.
- Lower the oven to 140ºC/280F and line a baking tray with greaseproof paper.
Pavlova
- Place the sugar, boiling water, vinegar, vanilla extract and egg whites in a clean bowl and beat on medium until the meringue is stiff and holds its shape when you pull the beater away, this will take 12 minutes.
- Spoon the meringue onto your greased tray and shape carefully into whichever pavlova shape you prefer with an offset spatula or the back of a spoon.
- Place in the oven and bake for 30 minutes before turning the temperature down to 120ºC/265F and bake for a further 30 minutes.
- Turn the oven off and allow to cool completely, minimum 2 hours before removing.
- Whip the cream until soft peaks just form than fold in the lemon curd.
- Slice up your citrus fruit, into segments or even roughly to create wild texture on top and place on top.
- Serve immediately.
