Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 c. sugar
  • 1/2 c. corn syrup
  • 2/3 c. water
  • 1/8 tsp. salt
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1 Tbsp. vanilla
  • 1 1/2 c. chopped pecans

Instructions

  1. Heat sugar, corn syrup, salt, and water in a saucepan over medium heat until a small amount forms a soft ball in cold water.
  2. Remove ½ cup of the hot mixture and slowly pour it over the stiffly beaten egg whites, continuing to beat until the remaining syrup reaches the hard ball stage on a candy thermometer.
  3. Beat rapidly while pouring the rest of the syrup over the egg white mixture.
  4. When the mixture thickens, add chopped pecans and vanilla, and beat by hand until the candy holds its shape when dropped from a spoon.
  5. Drop spoonfuls onto waxed paper to cool and set.
