4 cups sugar
1 cup white Karo Syrup
3/4 cup water
Dash of salt
3 egg whites
1 teaspoon vanilla
Pecans

Mix sugar, syrup, water and salt. Microwave, stirring every 5 minutes until reach 260 degrees. Meanwhile, beat egg whites very stiff. 

Gradually pour hot syrup over and continue beating at high speed until thick and starts to lose its gloss.  Beating may require about 12 minutes. Add vanilla and nuts. Drop by teaspoons onto waxed paper.

Yield 6 to 7 dozen pieces.

Note: My microwave takes 19 minutes for the syrup. I pour it up on a platter or baking sheet. I have made this for years and it is as good as made on the stove.
