Hi Christa,
I'm going to guess that mulled cider is what you want. There's a recipe
below from "The Colonial Williamsburg Cookbook"
Phaed
Chowning's Tavern Mulled Apple Cider
8 cups fresh apple cider
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1 cinnamon stick
8 whole cloves
In a large saucepan, combine the cider, sugar, lemon juice and nutmeg. Tie
the cinnamon stick and the cloves in a cheesecloth bag (we used a ball for
tea leaves) and place in the pan. Simmer over medium-high heat for 10
minutes. Remove the bag of spices and serve hot.
Serves 8.

Hello Joyce,
I found several recipes for seafoam candy. Note that while your grandmother
used raw egg whites, we now know that these bring a risk of salmonella, so
these days we use pasteurized egg whites.
See below.
Phaed
Sea Foam Candy
Ingredients :
3 c. light brown sugar
1 c. water or 1/2 c. water & 1/2 c. light corn syrup
1 tbsp. vinegar
2 egg whites
1/8 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
1 c. broken nut meats
Preparation :
Stir over slow heat until the sugar is dissolved: Cook these
ingredients quickly to the soft ball stage. Pour the syrup over the
eggs in a thin stream. Beat them constantly. Place the bowl
containing the candy over (not in) boiling water and heat the candy
until it is thick and creamy. Add: Pour candy onto an oiled
platter, cut into squares while hot.
----------------------------------
Sea Foam Candy
Ingredients :
3 c. brown sugar
1 c. water
1 tbsp. vinegar
Preparation :
Cook the above over medium high heat until it forms a hard ball
when dropped in cold water. Whip 2 egg whites and 1 teaspoon
vanilla. Add the part that you cooked to this and beat with a mixer
until it is stiff enough to drop by spoonfuls onto cookie sheet.
----------------------------------
Sea Foam Candy
Ingredients :
3 c. light brown sugar
1/2 c. water
1 tsp. vinegar
Preparation :
Boil without stirring until it forms a soft ball in cold water.
Remove from fire and pour slowly into stiffly beaten whites of 2
eggs, stirring constantly. Beat until mixture will hold its shape.
Add 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1 cup nuts. Drop in rough piles on buttered
pan.
----------------------------------
Sea Foam Candy
Preparation :
Stir over low fire until sugar is dissolved: 3 cups light brown
sugar, 1 cup water (or 1/2 cup light corn syrup) and 1 tablespoon
vinegar. Cook these ingredients quickly to the hard boil stage (250
degrees). Whip until stiff: 2 egg whites and 1/8 teaspoon salt.
Pour the syrup over the eggs in a thin stream, beating constantly.
Add: 1 teaspoon vanilla and 1 cup chopped nuts, if desired.
Continue beating constantly and vigorously until candy loses its
sheen. Drop on oiled paper in desired size pieces. Egg whites
should be carefully beaten so that there is no un-whipped albumin in
bottom of the bowl. Do not drop until all sheen has been lost and
candy is quite thick. Store in covered tin box to prevent drying.
In damp weather, cook four degrees higher (254 degrees). It is
important that the sides of the saucepan be well buttered before
placing on heat.

Preparation :

thread. Remove from heat until bubbles are gone. Then pour slowly
into beaten egg whites, beating constantly, continue beating until
stiff enough to drop from a spoon on waxed paper.
