MERINGUE: Set oven @ 325-|F/165-|C.

and top with a spatula; repeat with second circle.
Transfer meringues to oven, and decrease temperature to
300-|F/150-|C. Bake for 75 minutes, until meringue is
crisp but has very slight give in middle. Turn oven off,
and let meringues cool in oven with door ajar.

whipped cream on meringue, and scatter with chopped
cherries. Top with second meringue.
