My family prefers this light version of pumpkin pie to the typical custardy type. (Though I like both kinds!) i think you'll like it, too.

- Dissolve gelatin in tablespoon of cold water. when thickened, add to pumpkin.
- While pumpkin mixture is cooling slightly, beat the egg whites until they cling to the bowl.
