Meringue: Combine Port wine with sugar in a medium size pan and bring to a boil without stirring until syrup reaches 238ºF (113ºC) in a candy thermometer or soft ball. To know if the syrup is ready without a thermometer, pour 1 teaspoon of syrup in a glass of cold water. The syrup will go to the bottom and thicken. Introduce thumb and index finger and take the syrup and if a small ball can be formed, the syrup is ready.
Beat egg whites until thick and glossy and begin adding syrup in a thin stream while beating. Continue beating until meringue cools.
