1 tb Unflavored gelatin (1 env.)

1/2 c  Sugar

1/4 ts Salt

4    Egg yolks

1/2 c  Lime juice

1/4 c  Water

Thoroughly mix gelatin, 1/2 cup sugar, and salt in saucepan. Beat together

egg yolks, lime juice, and water; stir into gelatin mixture. Cook and stir

over medium heat just till mixture comes to boiling. Remove from heat;

stir in grated peel. Add food coloring sparingly to tint pale green.

Chill, stirring occasionally, until the mixture mounds slightly when

dropped from a spoon. Beat egg whites till soft peaks form; gradually add

1/2 c sugar, beating to stiff peaks. Fold gelatin mixture into egg whites.

Fold in whipped cream. Pile into cooled baked pastry shell. Chill till

firm. Spread with more whipped cream; edge with grated lime peel. Sprinkle

chopped pistachio nuts in center. Garnish with thinly sliced lime placed

in whipped cream mounds around edge of pie.
