2-2/3 cups water
2 cups light corn syrup
4 large egg whites
1/8 tsp salt

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Grease & flour 2 - 13" X 9" X 2" baking pans.

In large mixer bowl at med speed, beat egg whites until frothy. Add salt; continue beating until soft peaks form. Turn mixer to high speed, gradually add hot corn syrup, beating until soft peaks form. Fold in food coloring to tint delicate pink. Fold in peppermint extract.
