¾ c sugar
4 eggs, separated
½ c Duplin Bald Head Red wine
¼ c Water

Directions
Crust:
1.

1. Mix gelatin and ½ cup of the sugar into top of a double boiler; beat in egg yolks until light and fluffy.

3.
Cook, stirring constantly, until gelatin dissolves and mixture coats a spoon.
4.
Pour into a large bowl. Set bowl in a pan of ice water to speed setting. Chill at room temperature, stirring often, just until as thick as unbeaten egg white.

While mixture chills, beat egg whites with cream of tartar until foamy white and double in volume in a medium size bowl; beat in remaining ¼ c sugar, 1 T at a time, until meringue stands in stiff peaks.
6.
Beat cream until stiff in a second medium size bowl.
7.
Fold meringue, then whipped cream into thickened gelatin mixture until no streaks of white remain.
8.
Fold in about 5 drops of food coloring to tint pink.
