Soften gelatin in cold water. Mix sugar, cornstarch and salt; add to apple pulp. Cook again over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is very thick. Add gelatin; stir until gelatin is dissolved and mixture is again thick. Remove from heat.

Stir in walnuts, lemon peel, and juice. Turn into an 8" square shallow glas dish that has been rinsed with cold wate. Let stand 24 hours.

Cut rectangles (about 60). Roll in confectioners sugar, and place on rack until outside is dry. Store in covered container.

Makes about 1 pound 12
ounces.
