Directions:
- In a 2-quart heavy saucepan combine sugar, water, and corn syrup. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until mixture boils. Clip a candy thermometer to side of pan. Reduce heat to medium; continue cooking, without stirring, until the thermometer registers 260 degrees F, hard-ball stage (10 to 15 minutes). (Adjust heat as necessary to maintain a steady boil.)
- Remove saucepan from heat; remove thermometer. In a large mixing bowl beat egg whites witha freestanding electric mixer on medium speed until stiff peaks form (tips stand straight). Gradually pour hot mixture in a thin stream over egg whites, beating on high speed about 3 minutes; scrape sides of bowl occasionally. Add vanilla, and if desired, food coloring. Continue beating on high just until candy mixture starts to lose its gloss (5 to 6 minutes). When beaters are lifted, candy mixture should fall in a ribbon that mounds on itself.
- Drop a spoonful of candy mixture onto waxed paper. If it stays mounded, the mixture has been beated sufficiently. If mixture flattens, beat 1/2 to 1 minute more; check again. If mixture is too stiff to spoon, beat in a few drops hot water until mixture is a softer consistency. Immediately stir in candied fruit or nuts. Quickly drop mixture onto waxed paper in teaspoonfuls. Store tightly covered for up to 1 week.
