Method
1.In a large bowl, mix yoghurt and sugar together. Transfer to the centre of 40cm-square piece of muslin. Gather comers, securing into a parcel with a rubber band. Thread a wooden spoon through rubber band and hang over bowl to catch draining liquid. Chill 6 hours or overnight.
2.Preheat oven to moderate, 180°C. Line 2 oven trays with baking paper.
3.In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat egg-whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add extra sugar, beating well between each to dissolve sugar, until mixture is thick and glossy.
4.Spoon meringue mixture onto trays. Spread with back of metal spoon to make six 10cm rounds.
5.Reduce oven to very slow, 120°C. Bake nests for 1-2 hours or until dry and crisp.
6.In a bowl, combine fruit, cordial and mint. Serve nests topped with a spoonful of sweet yoghurt curd (from muslin) and fruit salad.
