Sprinkle unflavored gelatine over 1/2 cup water in a saucepan. Place over low heat; stir constantly until gelatine is dissolved. Remove from heat. Stir in rum and mincemeat. Chill until mixture mounds slightly when dropped from a spoon. Beat egg whites until stiff, but not dry. Gradually add sugar and salt and beat until very stiff. Fold in gelatine mixture. Fold in whipped cream. Turn into pastry shell; chill until firm. If desired, garnish with additional whipped cream; sprinkle with nutmeg.
