Ingredients
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup boiling water
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 egg white
½ cup cooked pitted prunes cut small
½ cup chopped blanched almonds

Directions
Mix sugar, water and cream of tartar together and bring to boiling point, stirring only until sugar is dissolved, then cook until a little dropped into cold water forms a soft ball (238 F).  Pour slowly over beaten egg white, beating while pouring and continue beating until smooth spreading consistency, then gently fold in prunes and almonds.
