Description

Ingredients

• 3 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup water
• 1/4 cup light corn syrup
• 2 egg whites, room temperature
• 1 (3 ounce) package Cherry favored Jello
• 1 tablespoon cherry maraschino juice
• your favorite kind of nuts, optional

Directions

• Place egg whites in a mixing bowl. Set aside. Combine sugar, corn syrup, water, and salt in a large sauce pan. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves. This takes about 6-7 minutes. Clip on a candy thermometer to the pan and let it get to 252 degrees Fahrenheit without stirring. Or, Let the sugar mixture continue to boil in the pan without stirring it. Check it every few minutes with the back of a small spoon. If it is still watery as it slides off the spoon, then it still needs to cook. When it is at a brittle ball stage, you’ll be able to see how it is turning into a syrup. It will hold a ball shape, but still be sticky. You may drop some in a tiny bowl of cold water to test the sugar. While the mixture is cooking, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gradually beat in Jello, then cherry juice. Set aside. When syrup is ready, start beater again on high speed. Slowly drizzle the hot syrup into egg white mix as you continue beating on high speed. Do not scrape sides of bowl or pan. Let it just beat and let the hot sugar pour out. Continue beating until mix loses its gloss. Quickly stir in the nuts (optional) and drop by teaspoons (or bigger) onto a waxed paper or a marble slab. Let stand until firm. Enjoy!
