Pumpkin Chiffon Pie

This was my grandma's most delicious pumpkin pie recipe!

1 envelope of knox gelatin
1/4 cup water
1 1/4 cup mashed pumpkin puree
3/4 cup carnation canned milk
2 egg yolks-lightly beaten
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. ginger spice
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
2 egg whites


Soften gelatin in water.

In a double broiler combine pumpkin, milk, egg yolks, 1/2 of sugar, salt and spices in top of broiler.  Bring water to boil and cook for 10 minutes stirring constantly.  Add gelatin and stir until dissolved.  Removed and chilled until slightly thickened.

In separate bowl beat egg whites until foamy.  Add remaining sugar gradually and continue beating.  Fold in pumpkin mixture and vanilla.  Turn into baked pie shell, chill until serve and top with whipped cream.
