When mixture begins to thicken, beat egg whites to fine foam. Gradually beat in remaining 4 tablespoons sugar, making a meringue. With same beater, beat cream stiff. Fold cream into gelatin mixture, then meringue. If necessary, chill a few minutes until mixture mounds on a spoon. Then turn into cooked crust, and chill 4-5 hours or overnight. At serving time, decorate with additional whipped cream and candied fruit, if desired. Makes 1 9-inch pie. 8 servings.
