1 envelope unflavored gelatin
1/2 c. cold water
1/4 c. rum
1 1/2 c. prepared mincemeat
3 egg whites
1/8 tsp. salt
1/3 c. sugar
1 c. whipping cream, whipped
1 baked 9-inch pastry shell
Maraschino cherries

Soften gelatin in cold water; stir over low heat until gelatin is dissolved. Remove from heat, and stir in rum and mincemeat. Chill, stirring occasionally, until mixture mounds when dropped from a spoon.

Beat egg whites until stiff but not dry. Add salt and sugar, and beat well. Fold gelatin mixture into egg whites; fold in whipped cream. Spoon into pastry shell. Garnish as desired with cherries. Chill until firm. Yield: 1 (9 inch) pie.
