    WATERMELON CHIFFON PIE

    1 1/3 c. graham cracker crumbs
    1 c. sugar, divided
    2/3 stick butter, melted
    1/4 lg. watermelon
    2 env. gelatin
    1/8 tsp. salt
    1 tbsp. lemon juice
    2 egg whites
    1 c. heavy cream, whipped
    Watermelon balls
    Mint

    Combine crumbs, 1/3 cup sugar, and butter. Press over bottom and sides
    of a 9
    inch pie plate. Chill. Extract 2 1/2 cups juice form watermelon by cutting
    watermelon into cubes and rubbing through a strainer to remove seeds and
    membrane. Sprinkle gelatin over 1 cup melon juice in a medium
    saucepan. Place
    over low heat, stirring constantly, about 5 minutes or until gelatin
    dissolves.
    Remove from heat and stir in 1/3 cup sugar, salt, remaining watermelon
    juice,
    and lemon juice.
    Chill, stirring occasionally, until mixture mounds slightly when
    dropped from a
    spoon. Beat egg whites until stiff but not dry. Gradually add
    remaining sugar,
    beating until very stiff. Fold with cream into watermelon mixture and
    turn into
    shell. Chill several hours or until set. Garnish with watermelon balls
    and mint
    sprigs. May be prepared no more than 1 day ahead. After a heavy meal,
    this is a
    lightly, fluffy, sweet ending! Serves 6-8.
