Ingredients:

3 cups sugar
2/3 cup Karo syrup clear
1/2 cup water
1 cup pecans chopped
1 tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp vanilla

Directions:
Combine sugar, salt, Karo syrup, and water in a
2-quart
saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring
constantly, until
sugar dissolves and mixture boils.
Continue cooking, without stirring, to 250
degrees (hard ball stage). Or until a small amount
of syrup dropped into cold water separates into
threads which feel hard but not brittle (soft crack
stage). Wipe crystals from side of pan now and
then with a fork wrapped in a damp cloth.
Remove from heat. Immediately beat egg whites
and cream of tartar in large mixer bowl until stiff
peaks form.
When syrup reaches soft crack stage, gradually
and slowly pour in a thin stream of the syrup into
egg whites, beating at high speed with the mixer
until all the syrup is mixed with the egg whites
approximately 5 minutes. Add vanilla and beat
until candy begins to hold its shape and lose its
gloss. Stir in pecans.
Drop by teaspoon pushing off with a second
spoon onto waxed paper-covered baking sheet. If
divinity becomes too stiff, add a few drops of hot
water. (Divinity should be about the size of a 2
inch ball). Store in airtight container.
