Soak the gelatin in cold water. Beat the egg whites until stiff; set
aside. Beat the egg yolks slightly, add sugar and combine with hot
milk, cook in a double boiler until the mixture coats the spoon as
for custard. Dissolve the gelatin in the hot custard. Cool, then
fold in the whipped cream, the egg whites and the lemon juice. Line
a mold with three grenadine pineapple rings and two creme de menthe
pineapple rings and red cherries and fill with the Bavarian cream
mixture. Chill for several
hours until firm, and turn out on a platter. For Christmas use holly
as a garnish. To unmold a gelatin mixture, dip quickly into hot water
and invert on a serving dish.
