jxn needs your help in solving a meringue problem
I am trying to make Macarons, and I am having one hell of a time with the limoncello ones I'm trying to make. I can't get the meringue to stay up when I add in the Liqueur. I have managed to mess up four batches, and I have tried different tricks each time, ranging from simply adding a bit more almond powder to beating the meringues until they are as close to solid as possible, and it continues to fall. I have even folded in the flavoring with the icing sugar and the almonds, but each time, it falls. None of my other flavors do this. I'm curious about how I should work around this, as I desperately need this for an order I have taken for a wedding that takes place in four weeks, and I need to have the bride her samples by Friday. I'm desperate, and don't know what else to try. If you can, please let me know any tricks you may have!
I don't even mind if you put a journal up, but I must have an answer soon, if possible.
I'm so so sorry to pester you, I know you all have lives of your own.
Thank you very much.
Sincerely, J A X

her videos are amazing, i think she has one or 2 vids on them
Now as in the lemoncello, alcohol contain is a bit high and the lemon is to strong and that's why the meringue is not staying still so use extract and dyes too resemble the lemoncello taste
