DIRECTIONS: In saucepan mix corn syrup, sugar, salt and water. Cook,

the syrup slowly over whites, beating constantly. Cook remainder until a
small amount forms hard threads in cold water (272-F). Add slowly to first
mixture, and beat until mixture holds its shape. Add vanilla and nuts; drop
by dessert-spoonfuls onto waxed paper, or spread in buttered 9x9x2" pan,
and when firm, cut in squares.

pineapple with the nuts.
