Directions:
Stir sugar, karo, water and salt till dissolved. Boil to medium-ball stage (240º).
Slowly pour 1/3 of this mixture over 2 stiffly beaten egg whites, beating constantly.
Cook remaining syrup to very hard ball stage (265º). Test: Add several drops of syrup to tap water. Mixture will form a firm ribbon that bends when lifted from water.
