Fruit flavored divinity

This wonderful recipe came from my mother-in-law. I have no idea how long she's been making it. We make this every Christmas to put on the goodie plates we take around to neighbors and friends. We do different flavors and colors to make a cheerful looking plate. As one friend in Hawaii said, "They are like little drops of heaven". They literally will melt in your mouth - and you can't stop with just one :)

3 Cups sugar
3/4 Cup water
3/4 Cup corn syrup
2 egg whites
1 package gelatin, any flavor

Mix water, sugar and corn syrup. Boil to hard ball stage. Meanwhile, beat egg whites until thick and fluffy. Add gelatin.

Once hardball stage, combine sugar mixture with egg mixture. Mix until thick. Quickly drop by spoonful onto wax paper.
