1/2 t salt
3/4 t nutmeg
2 envelopes plain gelatin
3/4 cup milk
1 8-1/2 oz can crushed pineapple
3 eggs
2 T lemon juice
1 t rum or brandy flavor
1 cup whipping cream
pineapple slices for garnish
Stir together 1/3 cup suar, salt, nutmeg, and gelatin. Add milk, undrained crushed pineapple, and beaten egg yolks. Cook over hot water, stirring now and then, until mixture thickens and coats a spoon. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice and flavoring. Chill until mixture thickens and mounds on a spoon. Beat egg whites until frothy. Gradually beat in remaining sugar until stiff peaks form. Beat cream until stiff. Fold egg whites and cream into pineapple mixture. Turn into 1-1/2 quart mold. Chill until firm. Unmold and garnish with slics of pineapple, if desired. (Star mold is perfect size.)
I'm realizing that Jell-O type desserts must have been very popular back in the day because she has quite a few of these. I don't think people are that much into gelatin side dishes and/or desserts that much anymore. This one definately has an egg nog taste due to the nutmeg, and it's also kind of similar to the other one posted earlier called the Luscious Pineapple Dazzler. I used the rum extract for this. It's pretty tasty and would be a good side dish I think during the holiday season but not something I would make regularly.
