What Fruit Juices Could I Use For Eton Mess?

Our answer

Nigella's Eton Messm (from NIGELLA EXPRESS) is a variation of the classic strawberries, whipped cream and crushed meringue as it includes pure pomegranate juice. Pomegranate juice has a sweet-sharp flavour that brings out the flavour of the strawberries.

Cranberry juice may be a possible alternative as it is quite sharp. Our main concern would be that most cranberry juices are actually juice drinks that have added water and sugar and lack the punch of pure pomegranate juice. Fresh passionfruit juice would be a possible alternative as it has the same sweet and sour profile as pomegranate juice and goes well with both strawberries and cream. NIgella uses this combination in the Rose and Pepper Pavlova With Passionfruit And Strawberries. You will probably only need one ripe passionfruit to get 2 teaspoons of seedless juice. Spoon the seeds and pulp into a fine-mesh sieve set over a bowl and press with the back of a spoon to extract as much juice as possible.
