 MMMMM-------------------------PIE CRUST------------------------------

       6 tb Butter or margarine,melted
     1/4 c  Sugar
  
   1. In 2-quart saucepan, with wire whisk or fork, beat milk, salt, egg
   yolks, and 3 tablespoons sugar until blended. Sprinkle gelatin evenly
   over egg-yolk mixture; let stand 1 minute to soften gelatin slightly.
   Cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until gelatin
   completely dissolves and mixture thickens slightly and coats the back
   of a spoon, about 15 minues (do not boil or mixture will curdle).
   Remove saucepan from heat; stir in rum and lemon peel. Cover and
   refrigerate until custard mounds slightly when dropped from a spoon,
   about 40 minutes.
   2. Meanwhile, prepare 9″ pie crust as directed below but do notbake;
   set aside.
   3. In large bowl, with mixture at high speed, beat egg whites until
   soft peaks form; gradually sprinkle in 1/4 cup sugar, beating until
   sugar completely dissolves and whites stand in stiff peaks. Gently
   fold gelatin mixture into beaten whites with 1 container mixed
   candied fruit (about 1/2 cup). Spoon filling into crust. Refrigerate
   pie until filling is set, about 2 hours.
   4. To serve, garnish pie with remaining mixed candied fruit.
   *** PIE CRUST ***
   1. Preheat oven to 375'F. If you would like to make your own
   graham-cracker crumbs, pulverize crackers in blender or in food

   them in sturdy plastic bag and roll into fine crumbs with rolling
   pin.
   2. In pie plate or bowl, mix crumbs with remaining ingredients. If you

   mixture onto bottom and up side of pie plate.
   3. Chill piecrust well; Fill as recipe directs or with chilled pie
   filling; top with reserved crumb mixture or garnish as recipe directs.
