Sprinkle gelatin over water to soften. Heat over low heat to dissolve
|
gelatin. Beat eggs thoroughly in bowl. Gradually add sugar and
|
continue to beat until mixture is smooth and very thick. Stir in
|
pumpkin, rum, cinnamon, ginger, mace and cloves. Blend in gelatin
|
well and fold in whipped cream. Oil 6-inch band of foil and place
|
around outside edges of oiled 1 1/2-quart souffle dish, oiled side
|
in, to form standing collar. (Or use an oiled 2-quart fluted ring
|
mold and do not add collar.) Fill dish with pumpkin mixture and chill
|
until set. Carefully remove foil collar and decorate top of souffle
|
with candied kumquats. Or dip fluted mold in hot water very quickly
|
and turn out onto serving platter. Serve with additional whipped
|
cream, if desired.
