Twice Cooked Divinity

3 cups sugar
1 cup syrup

1 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
Boil this to the thread stage.

3 egg whites
1 teaspoon vanilla
Nuts
Coloring

Beat egg whites until stiff. As soon as the mixture in the second pan spins a thread, pour it slowly into the egg whites. When the mixture in the first pan reaches the hard ball stage, add it to the egg white mixture. Stir in vanilla, nuts and coloring and beat until the mixture begins to set. Drop from a spoon onto waxed paper.
