This sounds like a great summer recipe.  What with the fruit being in season right now, this would be a great time to try it.

Schaum Torte  (double recipe)

6 egg whites beaten stiff.

Add 1 1/2 cups sugar and beat at least 20 minutes.

Add 1 Tbsp vinegar and 1 tsp vanilla.

Let dry in oven.  Do not have very much fire so that it can bake about 1/2 hour.  Serve with fruit and whipped cream. 

My interpretation of the baking part is to transfer it into a large, flat pan and bake 1/2 hour at around 200, just enough to dry it out.  This is my thinking because my favorite aunt, her oldest child, keeps everything the oven at 200 to keep it all warm just before supper.  There's no real way to know unless we have a seance, lol.
