2. Prepare your baking sheets by covering them with parchment paper, ensuring a non-stick surface for your meringues.

3. In a small bowl, combine the egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the mixture until soft peaks form. This typically takes a few minutes.

4. Gradually add the sugar to the egg white mixture, continuing to beat until very stiff peaks form. This process usually takes about 10 minutes and is essential for creating the desired texture of the meringues.

5. Add the raspberry preserves and food coloring to the mixture. Beat until well blended, ensuring the color is evenly distributed throughout the meringue.

6. Drop teaspoonfuls of the meringue mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each meringue to allow for expansion during baking. Alternatively, you can use a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip to pipe the meringue onto the sheets for a more decorative look.

7. Bake the meringues in the preheated oven for 2 hours. The low temperature ensures that the meringues cook slowly, allowing them to dry out and become crisp without browning.

8. Once baked, remove the meringues from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheets. This cooling process helps the meringues set and achieve their characteristic crisp texture.

9. Once cooled, carefully remove the meringues from the parchment paper and transfer them to a serving plate or airtight container for storage.

10. Serve and enjoy these delightful Raspberry Meringues as a light and airy dessert or a sweet treat for any occasion!
