INGREDIENTS

CRUST

1-1/2 cups pecans, coarsely ground
2 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon butter, melted

FILLING

1-1/2 cups cranberry juice
1 cup cranberries, washed and picked over
1/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons honey
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon gelatin
1/2 cup whipped cream
3 large egg whites
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 cup sugar

FOR THE CRUST: - Combine crust ingredients and press into a 10-inch pie plate. Bake 10 minutes. Cool.

FOR THE FILLING: - Combine 1 cup cranberry juice, cranberries, and 1/3 cup sugar in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat for 10 minutes or until berries soften. Cool.

Combine honey, salt, and remaining 1/2 cup cranberry juice in a separate saucepan. Sprinkle gelatin over top; let soften 5 minutes. Heat, stirring constantly, until gelatin is thoroughly dissolved, about 5 minutes. Cool.

Add cooked cranberries and juice to cooled mixture; mix well. Set pan over bowl of ice cubes and stir occasionally until gelatin thickens just enough to mound when dropped from a spoon. Fold in whipped cream.

Beat egg whites until frothy; add cream of tartar and continue beating until soft peaks form. Gradually add 1/4 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, until stiff peaks form, about 10 minutes. Fold into cranberry mixture.

Spoon into cooled, baked shell and chill several hours until set.
