White Mountain Gems

Make thin sponge drops about the size of the top of a teacup and place spots of meringue paste or icing all around their edge to form a rim or border. The spots should be the size of small cranberries and a high point should be drawn up as the tube leaves them. Bake a few minutes with the oven door open to dry the icing straw color. Fill the centers with a spoonful of wine or lemon jelly so nearly cold as not to run much.
