1 pkg. lemon gelatin
1 1/4 c. boiling water
Juice and rind of 1 lemon
1/2 c. sugar or 1/3 c. white corn syrup
1 lg. can evaporated milk
Any kind of fruit and nuts, if desired
2 1/2 c. rolled vanilla wafers

Dissolve gelatin in boiling water and add lemon rind and sugar or corn syrup. Let mixture harden then beat. To this add beaten condensed milk, nuts, and fruit. If the can of milk is kept cold it will beat more rapidly. On the bottom of an oblong cake tin sprinkle 1/2 of the rolled wafers. Pour in the above mixture and on top of that sprinkle the remainder of the wafer crumbs.
