Let gelatin stand in cold water until soft, then dissolve in boiling
water. Add sugar and fruit juices, and chill until mixture begins to
set. Beat until frothy. Whisk in the stiffly beaten egg whites and
beat mixture until almost firm. Fold in the whipped cream. Pile in
sherbet glasses. Garnish with whipped cream topped with a candied
violet or sprinkled with mauve trimettes. Makes 10 to 12 servings.
