Place sugar, syrup, salt and water in saucepan over medium heat.  Cook
stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves.  Continue cooking, without
stirring, until mixture reaches the firm-ball stage (248 degrees on

mixture over them, mixing constantly.

the soft-crack stage (270 degrees on candy theremometer).  Add it
slowly to the egg white/syrup mixture.  Beat until it is thick and
creamy and holds its shape.  Add flavoring and nuts (if desired).

into squares.
NOTE: If desired, you can add 1/2 cup chocolate bits or 1/2 cup
candied fruit to this recipe in place of the nuts.
