Instructions: Combine first 3 ingredients in a 3-quart saucepan; cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves. Cook over high heat, without stirring, until mixture reaches hard ball stage (260i).

Combine gelatin and egg whites (at room temperature) in a large mixing bowl; heat until stiff peaks form. Pour hot sugar mixture in a very thin stream over egg whites while beating constantly at high speed of an electric mixer. Continue beating until mixture holds its shape (5 to 10 minutes). Drop quickly by teaspoonfuls onto waxed paper; cool.

Yield: 6 dozen pieces
