Ingredients:
4 oz granualated sugar1 pt water egg whites nuts dried/candied fruits
Directions:
1. Cut nuts and fruit to correct sizes as you desire.2. Dissolve sugar in water in a heavy pot; cook the sugar to 265-270 degrees this is called soft crack stage (cooking sugar is not easy; until the sugar boils, you should wash the sides of the pots with water to keep the sugar from crystallizing; careful, sugar burns are the worst. 3. As the sugar boils, whip the whites (room temp) until foamy, add a little sugar and continue whipping to stiff peaks. 4. Whip the soft crack sugar into the whipped whites; fold in nuts and candies. 5. Spread in pan and cool Note: I did not find a recipe so you'll have to experiment with amount of whites. The relationship of 4 oz sugar and 1 pt water, however, is good.
