BAVARIAN (PINEAPPLE-EGGNOG)

2/3 cup sugar
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 of sugar, 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 ceam into pineapple mixture.  Turn into 1-1/2 quart mold.  Chill until firm.  Unmold and garnish with slices of pineapple if desired.  (Star mold is the perfect size.)

This is really different but good, not as hard to make as it sounds, just a lot of different bowls going.  I decided to mold these into little santa head molds with a cherry for the nose.  Make sure and spray the mold first for easy removal.  If you like pineapple and/or egg nog, you'll probably like this.
