Sauce:Juice and sieve the oranges. Mix the juice with sugar and bring it to a simmer. Let it reduce until it reaches a slightly syrupy consistency. Leave to cool. If it gets too thick after cooling, dilute with a little water.;Spring Roll:Chop the strawberries and coat with the sugar. Take 2 tablespoons of filling and spread across each wrapper, just below the centre. Brush all sides with egg white. Fold the wrapper up from the bottom by raising the lower corner to fold over the filling. Roll the filling over once, and bring the 2 corners in from the side to overlap each other. Finally fold the top flap down. Deep fry until golden brown. Serve hot, with the sauce. If not frying immediately, freeze the rolls, and when it’s time, fry them straight from the freezer.

When all the sugar is added, add the vinegar and cornflour. Beat until fully combined. Pour the meringue over a sheet of greaseproof paper and spread it to form a roughly shaped 20cm circle. Bake at 150C for 1 hour, turn off the oven and leave to cool. Peel and chop the fruit. When cool, turn the meringue carefully upside down and remove the paper. Top with the fruit and serve.
