Combine flour and salt. Cut in shortening and butter until lumps are
pea-size. Add water and stir until mixture is moistened. Press into ball
and chill 45 minutes. Roll out on floured board with well-floured or
stockinette-covered rolling pin. Carefully transfer pastry to 9-inch pie
plate. Pierce all over with fork. Bake at 400F 15 minutes. Cool. Meanwhile,
to make filling, soften gelatin in lemon juice. Set aside. Combine egg
yolks, guava juice and 1/2 cup sugar. Add a few drops red food color. Cook
and stir over medium heat until mixture thickens. Add gelatin mixture and
stir until melted. Cool mixture until it reaches consistency of unbeaten
egg whites. Beat egg whites and cream of tartar together until soft peaks
form. Gradually add 1/4 cup sugar and beat until stiff peaks form. Fold in
gelatin mixture and pour into baked pastry shell. Chill. Top with sweetened
whipped cream and garnish with guava slices. Makes 6 to 8 servings Created
