Storing meringues

I bought baby meringues from our high street bakery (they make them) just over a month ago, stored them in an airtight (glass container with plastic lid) and promptly forgot about them until I saw them in the store cupboard today and thought - 'what's that?' Would they be okay to eat today? I googled the question with no clear answer and then thought - the Gransnetters will know.

You do see them in the supermarkets with dates that say they are good for months, but perhaps they put something preservatives in theirs?

Yes! Loads of sugar which preserves.

If you don't want them...............

As long as they are still crisp, I should think they will be fine.

If not mash them up with cream, strawberries or raspberries for an Eton mess!

Thanks everyone, liking the Eton mess idea. I'm making roast dinner today, got the 'assemble a pudding' under control, and that's all I'm doing! flowers
