Instructions
Step 1
Prepare by placing sheets of waxed paper on two cooling racks, setting them aside for later use.
Step 2
In a sturdy saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar, corn syrup, and water. Using a candy thermometer, heat the mixture until it reaches 250º F, achieving a hard ball stage.
Step 3
While the syrup is simmering, whip egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form.
Step 4
When the sugar syrup has reached hard ball stage (250º F), remove it from the heat and begin to slowly pour it into the beaten egg whites, whipping together at a high speed.
Step 5
Add the vanilla and continue whipping the mixture on high until it holds its shape and does not fall back onto itself, about 5-6 minutes. Stir in chopped pecans, if using.
Step 6
Using two teaspoons and working quickly, drop scoops of divinity onto sheets of waxed paper that has been placed on top of cooling racks. If the divinity begins to harden, add a few drops of warm water to help loosen it while working.
Step 7
Allow the divinity to dry and harden. This usually takes a couple of hours to overnight. Store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
