For the filling, combine the cherries with sugar in a pan, bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Dissolve the cornstarch in cold water, pour it into the cherries, and cook for another 3 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat, let cool, and then spread on the baked base.

For the meringue, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until fluffy foam forms. Gradually add the sugar and beat until stiff peaks appear. Add the cornstarch and beat again.
