Donna's Sea Foam
By Lois Carter Fay
2 cups white sugar
3/4 cup white Karo Syrup
3/4 cup water
1 teaspoon of vanilla or other flavoring
A few drops of food coloring (red or green)
Mix well, boil until brittle when tested in cold water (about 20 minutes). Careful! This burns easily.
Beat 2 egg whites until stiff. Pour the boiling syrup over the stiff egg whites, beating fast. Continue beating until candy starts to set (must be pretty stiff). Add vanilla or flavoring and coloring and beat until thoroughly mixed. Drop by spoonfuls onto oiled pan.
Candy should be soft and chewy but hold its shape like a Hershey's Kiss.
Note: candy will not set if the humidity or temperature in the room is too high.
