Recipe - Maple Nut Pie

One half cup Milk
1 cup Maple syrup or maple
flavored syrup
2 Egg yolks; slightly beaten
1 tablespoon Gelatin
Cold water
1 teaspoon Maple flavoring
2 Egg whites; stiffly beaten
1 cup Whipped cream
One half cup Chopped nut meats

Heat together the milk and maple syrup. Stir One half cup of this into the egg
yolks and return this mixture gradually to the hot syrup mixture, beating
constantly. Cook this mixture a little, then add the gelatin which has been
softened in a little cold water. Add the maple flavoring and chill the
mixture until it begins to thicken. Fold in the egg whites, then add the
shipped cream and chopped nut meats. Pour the mixture into a baked pie
shell.

This pie tastes like maple ice cream. If you double the recipe, it makes
three 8inch pies.
