Steps:
- Line two large baking sheets with baking parchment. In a small bowl, mix both sugars together. In another small bowl, mix the jam with enough food colouring to create a vibrant red colour.
- In a clean, grease-free bowl, whisk the egg whites until they form stiff peaks, using electric beaters or a tabletop mixer. Add about a third of the sugar, whipping for 1 min or so, until stiff and glossy. Gradually add the remaining sugar until you have a glossy meringue that holds stiff peaks.
- Heat oven to 120C/100C fan/ gas 1/2. Turn your pastry bag inside out and, using a spoon, paint three lines of coloured jam from the top to almost the end of the bag. Fill with the meringue mix and twist the end to close.
- Holding the bag vertically over the tray, apply enough pressure to create a base, then quickly draw the bag upwards to create little points. The jam will give the meringues a stripy pattern as they pass through the bag.
- Bake in the oven for 1 hr or until the meringues sound hollow when you lift one and tap the base - they should have a crunchy shell and not be too chewy. Leave to cool in the oven with the door closed, then store in a plastic food bag or airtight container until ready to use.

Tips:
- Use fresh raspberries for the best flavor. If using frozen raspberries, thaw them completely before using.
- Make sure the egg whites are at room temperature before whipping them. This will help them whip up faster and more easily.
- Don't overbeat the egg whites. Overbeaten egg whites will be stiff and dry, and they won't hold their shape as well in the meringues.
- Add the sugar gradually to the egg whites while whipping. This will help prevent the egg whites from becoming grainy.
- Pipe the meringues onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. This will help prevent them from sticking to the pan.
- Bake the meringues at a low temperature for a long time. This will help them dry out completely and develop a crispy exterior.
- Let the meringues cool completely before filling them. This will help prevent the filling from melting.
- Fill the meringues with your favorite filling, such as raspberry jam, whipped cream, or fresh fruit.
