In a medium pan over medium heat - Mash 2 cups of berries with 1 cup sugar and 1/4 tsp salt. Bring to a boil. Stir.

Remove from heat.
Add 1tsp vanilla and remaining 2 cups of berries.

** note: you can use splenda in place of the sugar on the berries to lower the sugar content. However, I found the meringue still needs the sugar to come out 'just right' --T

    Good
    A bit of work but worth it though we couldn't wait till it was properly cooled! I used canned strawberries (fresh were out of season & too expensive) and didn't add sugar. Base was a bit soggy. I loved it but hubbie didn't (though he had it properly cooled) so unfortunately wouldn't make again. - 4/26/07

    This sounds similar to one that I have made in the past. It really is good and the calories and such aren't bad for such a large serving! - 3/16/07
