Pineapple Puffs
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 cup corn syrup
- 1/3 cup water
- 2 egg whites, lightly beaten
- 1/4 cup candied pineapple
- 1/2 tsp pineapple extract
Put sugar, corn syrup and water in a saucepan. Stir constantly until dissolved. Bring to a boil. Wipe off sugar adhering to the sides of the saucepan with a butter brush dipped in cold water. Cook syrup to 252°F or until it forms a hard ball in cold water. With a spoon, stir candy slightly until it just begins to look cloudy. Slowly, while beating constantly, pour half the syrup on the lightly beaten egg whites and then immediately pour the egg mixture into the remaining syrup and beat. Add pineapple extract and candied pineapple. Continue beating until the mixture is stiff enough to hold its shape. Push from the spoon with a fork onto wax paper in little mounds and set aside and take a deep breath until firm.
