Microwave Divinity

Ingredients:
3 cups sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/2 water
1/4 tsp salt
2 egg whites
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 cup chopped nuts, if desired

Directions:
In a large microwave bowl, combine sugar, syrup, and water.  Microwave on high for 12 to15 minutes.  It should spin a fine thread.  While this is cooking, take you egg whites and add salt, then beat on high until stiff.  When syrup mixture is ready slowly with a thin stream pour it into egg whites, beating constantly until mixture loses its shine, about 7 to 10 minutes, and thickens.  Stir in vanilla and nuts.  Drop by the teaspoon at once onto wax paper.
