Recipe 1- Lemon Bisque

Lemon Bisque was the light and airy dessert that my Great Grandma Ruth made for us every time she came to visit. Today was her 95th birthday so, I had to make this for her. It is a fairly simple Jell-O dessert but it does take some time. Happy eating!

For this recipe you  will need:
1 tall can of evaporated milk             2 TBS lemon juice
1 package of lemon gelatin               1/2 grated lemon rind
1 1/4 cup boiling water                     1 pkg vanilla wafers or  
1/3 cup honey                                  1/3 -2/3 pkg graham crackers pulverized into crumbs
1/8 tsp salt

1. Thoroughly chill the milk. Overnight works well.
2. Dissolve gelatin in the boiling water

3. Add honey, salt, lemon juice, and lemon rind. Let sit until slightly congealed

4. Beat the chilled, evaporated milk until stiff (I never can get it quite stiff but it still works)

5. Whip in gelatin mixture.
6. Press half of  the wafer/cracker crumbs into a 10x13 inch pan 
7.Pour the lemon mix over the crumbs and top with remaining crumbs

8. Chill in the fridge at least 3 hours or overnight
