NOT Phil's Mom's Sea Foam

List of Ingredients




t'aint mine either. I developed a hatred of the stuff.
Mom's sea foam was white. Flat. Shiny. Sort of like those plates you just can't kill from the 60s that look horrible? Yeah those. I would ask for fudge and get flat, white, shiny. I am suffering from trauma.

Sea Foam

1 3/4 cups light brown sugar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 egg whites
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup broken pecans (optional)
3 drops green food coloring (optional)
1/4 teaspoon mint extract (optional)



Recipe



Butter sides of a heavy 2-quart saucepan. In it combine sugars, corn syrup, salt and 1/2 cup water. Cook, stirring constantly, till sugars dissolve and mixture comes to boiling.

Cook, to hard ball stage (260* F) without stirring. Remove from heat. Immediately beat egg whites till stiff peaks form. Pour hot syrup in a thin stream over beaten egg whites, beating constantly at high speed on electric mixer. Add vanilla, food coloring, mint extract.

Continue beating till mixture forms soft peaks and begins to lose its gloss, about 10 minutes. Stir in nuts. Let stand about 2 minutes. Drop by rounded teaspoons onto waxed paper. Makes 2 to 3 dozen pieces.
