Instructions
Puree 1 cup strawberries with 2 tablespoons honey and orange peel; refrigerate until serving time. Slice remaining strawberries; spoon into 4 individual serving dishes.

Lift meringues out of milk with slotted spoon. Tap spoon lightly on towel. Top strawberries with meringues. Garnish with orange peel and mint sprigs.
