• 1/3 cup lemon juice
• 1 tsp grated lemon peel

In saucepan, combine gelatine, sugar & salt. Beat together egg yolks, lemon juice & 2/3 cup water. Stir into gelatine mixture. Cook & stir over medium heat just until mixture comes to boiling and gelatine is dissolved. Remove from heat & stir in peel. Chill, stirring occasionally until mixture is partially set.
Beat egg whites till soft peaks form. Gradually add 1/2 cup sugar, beating till stiff peaks form. Fold in gelatin mixture. Fold in whipped cream. Pour into cooled pastry shell or graham cracker crust.
Chill until firm.
