      Title: MOM'S DIVINITY
 Categories: Candies, Desserts, Mom
      Yield: 1 Batch
 
      1 c  Sugar, granulated
      1 tb Karo, light
      1 lg Egg white
    1/2 c  Pecans, broken
    1/2 ts Vanilla extract (or more)
    1/4 c  Water
 
  Cook only on a DRY day!
  
  In heavy-bottom pan over medium heat, boil syrup of sugar, water and
  Karo till close to done (about 10 minutes); will spin a thread to
  pot. Take candy off heat.
  
  Beat egg white with a pinch of salt till you have stiff peaks. In a
  large bowl, add the hot syrup to the beaten egg white while mixing at
  a high speed.  If syrup starts to harden, pour a little more. When
  mixture gets stiffer and warmer, can add in a larger stream.
  
  Add vanilla extract to candy.  Stir by hand until texture dulls
  (seems like it takes FOREVER).  When cool, add nuts (if you add them
  too soon, the heat pulls the oil out of the nuts and the candy won't
  harden). Drop by tablespoons onto waxed paper.
  
  To expand the recipe, use no less than 2 cups of sugar; if you
  quadruple, add an extra egg white, especially if eggs are small.
  Might try stirring in 3 oz. of broken white chocolate before dropping
  candy (won't melt).
