Pecan Divinity

A traditional Southern candy that can be a bit tricky to make but is truly delicious. Dont' try this one on a rainy day or it won't turn out right.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups sugar shopping list
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup (Karo brand preferred) shopping list
- 1/4 cup hot water shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon white vinegar shopping list
- 1 stiffy beaten egg white shopping list
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla shopping list
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans shopping list
How to make it
- Combine the first four ingredients in a large saucepan, cover and place over medium heat until it boils. Cook to very hard ball stage (126 degrees) then remove from heat. Cool a bit then gradually add to stiff egg white. Beat constantly until very stiff. Let cool then add vanilla and nuts. Drop by spoonfuls on waxed paper and let set for an hour. Should stay very stiff and peaky if it turns out right but will be puddles if it doesn't. Still tastes good even if it doesn't set up stiff, but doesn't look very pretty.
