Directions:
Combine egg whites and cream of tartar in electric mixer bowl. Beat at high speed until soft peaks form. Add sugar gradually while beating at high speed. Add vinegar and vanilla. Beat about 12 minutes longer until stiff peaks bend only slightly. For pastel shells, add vegetable coloring at this point to get desired tint, beating to blend evenly.
For each meringue, pile 2 large rounded tablespoons of meringue in a solid high heap on 4 1/2 inch circles of unglazed paper. Make a hole in the top by pushing down quickly and lightly to round a good sized well. Dip spoon in hot water often to keep meringue from sticking to spoon and to shape smooth shells
Bake in a very slow oven...150* F for 1 hour
