Step 1
Hull and slice 1 cup strawberries; set aside a few slices for garnish. Place the rest in a small saucepan with 2 tbsp sugar and 1 tsp lemon juice.
Step 2
Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the berries soften and release juice, about 5 minutes. Mash lightly with a fork to make a chunky sauce.
Step 3
Spoon the warm strawberry sauce into the 4 meringue nests, dividing evenly. Top with the reserved fresh strawberry slices and serve immediately.
