RE Fruutcake: Sometimes meringue won't beat up as high as necessary if the sugar isn't added very gradually. Try beating the egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt for 4-5 minutes, then start adding 1 tablespoon sugar at a time about 15-20 second intervals for 10 minutes. Then beat in the jam and food color. Also, be sure to use metal or glass bowls for beating the meringue. The meringues should be completely baked after 2 hours and should not require another hour for baking. Humid or rainy weather definitely affects meringue causing stickiness and weaping so maybe that caused the problem too. Make sure the meringues are immediately placed in the oven for baking and stored in an airtight container after cooling to avoid additional moisture absorption.

I made these for a baby shower. The process is fairly easy, few ingredients, inexpensive to make. And they look and taste fabulous. However, mine were so sticky, I couldn't serve them. Not sure if I did something wrong. I baked them the 2 hours noted and then another 1 hr, but they were still sticky. I've made meringues before without problem. Maybe it's the jam you are adding? Weather? Don't know if I would try them again.
