Seafoam Candy - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 c. light brown sugar
1 Tbsp. light corn syrup
2 egg whites
dash of salt
1 tsp. vanilla
3/4 c. water

Preparation

Combine sugar, water and syrup in a 2-quart saucepan.
Blend with a wooden spoon and place over low heat, stirring constantly, until boiling.
Put in a candy thermometer and boil without stirring over medium heat until thermometer registers 256\u00b0. Remove from heat and let stand while 2 egg whites are beaten stiff; add a dash of salt.
Slowly add syrup to egg whites, beating until candy holds a definite shape and loses its gloss. One teaspoon vanilla is stirred in just before candy is dropped by spoonfuls on waxed paper.
Walnuts or pecans can be added.
