Ten Reasons I Swear: 1. It pleases mother so much. 2. It is a fine mark of manliness. 3. It proves I have self-control. 4. It indicates how clearly my mind operates. 5. It makes my conversation so pleasing to everybody. 6. It leaves no doubt in anyone’s mind as to my good breeding. 7. It impresses people that I have more than an ordinary education. 8.

INGREDIENTS

1 1/2	c	Light corn syrup
2	c	Sugar
1/4	ts	Salt
1/4	c	Water
2		Egg whites
1/2	ts	Almond extract
		Red or green food coloring

1	c	Toasted chopped almonds
1/4	c	Chopped candied cherries

INSTRUCTIONS

DIRECTIONS: Mix first 4 ingredients in heavy saucepan. Cook, stirring,
until sugar is dissolved. Cook, without stirring, until a small amount of
the mixture dropped in cold water forms a hard ball (250-F). Beat egg
whites until stiff, but not dry, in large bowl of electric mixer. Gradually
beat in about one fourth (not more) of the syrup, and continue beating
until mixture holds its shape. Cook remaining syrup until a small amount of
mixture separates into hard and brittle threads when dropped in cold water
(300-F). Gradually beat into first mixture, and continue beating until the
mixture begins to hold its shape. Add flavoring and food coloring to tint a
delicate shade. Beat in butter; continue beating until very thick and
satiny. Stir in nuts and cherries. Press into a buttered 8x8x2" pan,
smoothing top. Let stand until firm. Turn out of pan, and cut in 1 1/2" by
1" pieces. Wrap each piece individually in waxed paper. For best flavor,
store several days in a cool place before serving.
