Mix Gelatin into water and set aside, to let firm up.
1/4 cup water, 1 envelope Unflavored gelatin
Seperate yolks from whites, and place whites in the fridge while cooking the pumpkin mixture.
In a medium sauce pan whisk together egg yokes, 1/2 cup of sugar, salt, pumpkin, spices, and milk. Cook on the stovetop at medium heat. Continue to stir until thickens-about 10 minutes.
3 eggs yolks, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 can pumpkin filling, 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/2 cup milk
Remove from heat and mix in gelatin, stirring until dissolved.
Cool completely. We like to set the pan out on the back porch covered, if the temperature is cooler outside in the fall or winter. If not, place on a wire rack till cool, but place in fridge till chilled.
Beat egg whites until soft peaks are formed. Gradually stir 1/2 cup sugar and beat until stiff.
3 egg whites, 1/2 cup sugar
Now it is time to softly fold egg white mixture into the pumpkin. Be sure to fold gently until completely mixed with no streaks.
Using a spatula, scrape the pumpkin mixture into a prepared pie crust.
