Directions: |
Directions:Cook sugar, water, corn syrup and salt in a heavy 2 quart saucepan over low heat until sugar dissolves and a candy thermometer registers 248º (about 15 minutes). Remove syrup mixture from heat.
Beat egg whites at high speed with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Pour half of hot syrup in a thin stream over egg whites, beating constantly at high speed about 5 minutes.
Cook remaining half of syrup over medium heat stirring occasionally until candy thermometer registers 272º (about 4 to 5 minutes). Slowly pour hot syrup and vanilla over egg white mixture beating constantly at high speed until mixture holds its shape (about 6 to 8 minutes). Stir in chopped pecans.
Drop mixture quickly by rounded teaspoon onto lightly buttered wax paper. Garnish with pecan half. |

Notes: This is best made with two people because the candy will start to harden as soon as you remove it from the heat. I began making these for Christmas during our years at OBU.
