Summary
Ingredients

Directions
1. Combine sugar, corn syrup, cherry juice and salt in a small saucepan; cover. Heat to boiling; uncover; boil gently until mixture registers 242° on a candy thermometer, or until a small amount of the hot syrup falls threadlike from a spoon.
2. While syrup cooks, beat egg whites with cream of tartar in the large bowl of electric mixer at high speed, until stiff peaks form when beaters are removed. Pour hot syrup onto egg whites in a very thin stream, beating all the time at high speed, until frosting is stiff and glossy. Beat in vanilla. Tint pale pink with red food coloring.
