• 3 tablespoons dry white wine

Preparation

 

 

Sprinkle gelatin over wine in small bowl. Let stand 10 minutes to soften.

Whisk eggs and sugar to blend in heavy small saucepan. Mix in nonfat milk then lemon juice and peel. Stir over medium-high heat until mixture thickens slightly and just come to boil.
