1011.0. "PIE: Nestlerode Pie" by PENUTS::DUDLEY () Fri Feb 26 1988 13:41

    Years ago, my grandfather had a cook who came from Ireland.  She
    made a pie called Nestlerode pie.  As I remember, it was of the
    whipped cream style with what might have been pieces of fruit
    and/or nuts in it.  It was always served chilled, and little children
    could only have a very small sliver, leading me to believe
    it contained rum/brandy/liquer....   Any recipes would be
    greatly appreciated.

    This may be what you're looking for:
    
    Nesselrode Pie
    
    1 9-inch baked graham cracker crumb crust		
    1 envelope unflavored gelatin
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    sugar
    4 eggs, separated
    1 1/4 cups milk
    1 tablespoon rum
    1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
    1 4-ounce jar diced mixed candied fruit (about 1/2 cup)
    1 cup heavy or whipping cream, whipped
    red and green candied pineapple, cut in slivers, for garnish
    
    1.  Prepare crust (or buy one).  In 2-quart saucepan, mix well gelatin,
    salt and 3 tablespoons sugar.  In small bowl with wire whisk, beat
    egg yolks with milk until mixed;  stir into gelatin mixture.
    
    2.  Cook mixture over medium-low heat, stirring, until thickened
    and it coats the spoon.  Remove from heat; stir in rum and lemon
    peel.  Refrigerate until cold but not firm, about 40 minutes.
    
    3.  In large bowl with mixer at high speed, beat egg whites into
    soft peaks;  gradually sprinkle in 1/4 cup sugar, beating until
    sugar is dissolved and stand in stiff peaks.  Gently fold gelatin
    mixture into whites with mixed candied fruit.  Spoon into piecrust;
    refrigerate about 1 hour or until set.
    
    4.  TO SERVE:  Top with whipped cream.  Garnish with canied pineapple.
     
    
    Let me know if you make it and how it turns out.
