  1. Soften gelatin in cold water; set aside.
  2. Combine egg yolks, salt, and 1/4 cup sugar in top of a double boiler; beat well. Gradually add scalded half-and-half to yolk mixture, stirring constantly. Bring water in bottom of double boiler to a boil. Cook mixture over boiling water, stirring constantly, 5 minutes or until slightly thickened. Remove from heat; add softened gelatin. Stir until gelatin dissolves. Stir in rum extract. Chill until mixture reaches consistency of unbeaten egg whites.
