Ingredients:

• 2 1/2 c. sugar
• 1/2 c. light corn syrup
• 1/2 c. water
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 2 egg whites
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 1/2 c. chopped nuts

In heavy 2 qt. pan, stir sugar, corn syrup, water, and salt. Clip candy thermometer on and cook and stir over medium heat washing sides down well until sugar dissolves. Cook without stirring to 260. Remove from heat. In large bowl, beat egg whites at high speed to form stiff peaks. Gradually pour hot syrup in a thin stream over egg whites beating at high speed. Add vanilla and a few drops of food color. Beat at high speed 4-5 minutes until candy holds its shape when the beaters are lifted. Mixture should mound on itself. If mix flattens out, beat more. If mix is stiff and the surface rough, beat in a few drops of hot water.
