2/3 c. sugar
2 egg whites
1/3 tsp. vanilla
Nuts, dates or cherries (or whatever you like)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Beat egg whites until frothy, but not stiff. Gradually add sugar and vanilla and beat until very stiff. Fold in pieces of nuts, dates, cherries or whatever you like. Spoon out on foil lined tray. Turn oven off. Place in oven overnight or at least 6 hours. A smaller batch can be made with 1 egg and 1/2 cup sugar.
