List of Ingredients



• 3 cups sugar
  
• 3/4 cup light Karo syrup
  
• 3/4 cup water
  
• 3 egg whites, at room temperature
  
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  
• 1 cup chopped pecans
  






Instructions



1. Combine the sugar, corn syrup and water in a heavy saucepan. Cook over low heat and stir just until sugar dissolves. Cover and cook over medium heat for 2 minutes to wash down sugar crystals from inside saucepan.
   
2. Uncover and cook, without stirring, until mixture boils and reaches hard ball stage (260 degrees on candy thermometer).
   
3. Beat the egg whites in a large bowl until stiff peaks form. With electric mixer running at high speed, pour the hot sugar syrup in a thin stream over the egg whites. Add vanilla and continue beating until mixture begins to hold its shape (about 3 or 4 minutes). Stir in pecans. Candy may be tinted with few drops of food coloring, if desired.
   
4. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto waxed paper. Allow to cool. Makes about 5 dozen pieces.
