3 c. sugar
3/4 c. light corn syrup
3/4 c. water
2 egg whites, stiffly beaten
1 (3 oz.) pkg. strawberry Jell-O
1 c. chopped nuts (optional)
1/2 c. flaked coconut (optional)
Combine sugar, syrup and water. Bring to a boil,
stirring constantly. Then cook without stirring to 260
degrees on candy thermometer. Combine beaten egg
whites and Jell-O. Beat until mixture forms peaks.
Pour hot syrup in a thin stream into egg whites,
beating constantly. Beat until candy loses its gloss
and holds its shape. Fold in nuts and coconut. Drop by
