Adaptation of my Grandmother McCain's recipe


List of Ingredients




2 1/2 Cups Sugar
1/3 Cup White Karo Syrup
½ Cup Boiling Water
1 Teaspoon Vanilla
2 Egg Whites (extra Large Eggs)
1 Cup Chopped Pecans

Recipe



Cook sugar, Karo syrup and water together until it forms a firm ball when dropped in cold water (275 on a candy thermometer).

Beat egg whites until stiff; slowly pour hot syrup mixture over beaten egg whites. Beat by hand with a wooden spoon until stiff or thick (dull in color); then add vanilla and pecan pieces. At this point, I divide the mixture in half, adding a few drops of red food coloring to one half and green food coloring to the other half.

Quickly drop by teaspoonfuls onto wax paper.
