2 cupfuls of granulated sugar

1 cupful of golden syrup

1 cupful of water

1 cupful of nut meats

Mix the sugar and water, and stir in the syrup. Stand this over the fire and boil, without stirring, until the mixture forms a hard ball when dropped into cold water. Pour, while hot, into the well-beaten whites of two eggs, beating all the time. Stand the bowl in a pan of cold water, and beat until the mixture will harden quickly when dropped from a spoon on oiled paper. Then stir in one cupful of chopped nut meats.

To give variety, at one time stir in a half cupful of chopped nuts and one cupful of chopped dates or cherries, or any other conserved fruits. This mixture mav be poured into square, lightly greased pans, and when cold cut into cubes, or it may be dropped by spoonfuls on greased paper.
