THE FOLLOWING RECIPE IS FROM ALICE ALDEN OF SEATTLE. Lemon Bisque 10 servings 1 (3-ounce) package lemon-flavored gelatin
1 1/4 cups boiling water
1/2 cup lemon juice
Grated peel of 1 lemon
1/4 cup sugar
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, partially frozen
2 teaspoons margarine or butter, melted
About 1/2 cup fine graham cracker crumbs
1. Dissolve the lemon gelatin in boiling water; add the lemon juice, peel and the sugar. Chill until thickened but still soft.
2. Pour the mixture into a large bowl, add the condensed milk and beat with an electric mixer until smooth and thick.
3. Brush the melted margarine or butter over a 7-by-11-inch pan and coat with some of the graham cracker crumbs. Pour the lemon mixture into the pan and sprinkle the top with more crumbs. Chill thoroughly before serving.
Note: The original recipe called for using 1/3 cup sugar but our testers thought the finished dish was too sweet so the amount was reduced.
