cherry cardamom pavlova

pavlova! i don't think this ever gets boring. clouds of meringues, tart, boozy cherries on top,  hints of cardamom... what's not to like? in other words: i'm really into pavlova. i mean i wish i could be one. no! i really mean: i just really like pavlova. full stop. and i can't wait for spring and summer to come up with new combinations.

the recipe for the meringue can be taken from here and the cherries are the same i used for the black forest trifle.
