KIWI Pie

from the kitchen of a friend


This is for a round 9-inch pie. Put the following mixture into a baked pastry shell - but no recipe for the pastry - maybe you could try it with the frozen pie sheets?

It also calls for a double boiler - maybe you could do something makeshift if you don't have one (i.e. stainless steel mixing bowl inside a pot...your mixture would be nearer the heat source than compared to a double-boiler, but if you stir constantly and consider the level of the heat source, maybe it'll work fine)

ingredients:
3 eggs, separated
1/2 cup sugar
1 envelope of plain gelatin (I don't know how many grams, but the packet says it's enough gelatin to gel two cups of liquid)
1/8 tsp salt
1/3 cup cold water
2 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp grated lemon rind
2 tbsp sugar
1/2 cup whipping cream
1 and 1/2 cups of kiwi fruit (peeled and cut into quarters)

first put the gelatin into the cold water, in the top of a double boiler, put aside to soften

in a separate, regular saucepan, put in the kiwi and mash it up - boil it in its own natural juice

mix the egg yolks, salt, and the 1/2 cup of sugar into the gelatin/water mixture

cook this gelatin/egg/salt/sugar mixture - stirring constantly - until it begins to thicken slightly

add the mashed/boiled kiwi into the gelatin mixture

add the lemon rind and juice

chill for about 45 minutes

--------------

separate bowl - beat the egg whites until foamy

add the 2 tsbp sugar

beat until stiff peaks form

--------------

separate bowl - whip the whipping cream

fold it into the stiff egg whites

then fold that mixture into the chilled kiwi mixture

then put it into the baked pie pastry (I think it should be cooled-off)

chill until firm

--------------

garnish with kiwi slices, and whip cream if desired

Friends comment...
Now, after typing all that, I think I'd just try the easy apple crisp recipe
with kiwi instead of apples!
