(Mom has made Divinity Fudge for as long as I can remember; it was always a treat and is a favorite childhood memory.) 1/2 c. light corn syrup 1/2 c. water 2 egg whites 1/8 tsp. salt 1 tsp. vanilla 1 c. pecans or walnuts

Combine sugar, corn syrup, and water in saucepan. Cook, stirring until sugar dissolves. Then cook over low heat, without stirring, to hard ball stage (265 degrees - or until makes a long hair-like strand). Put whites and salt in large bowl; beat on high speed until stiff (about 2 1/2 minutes). Slowly pour hot syrup into egg whites while continuing to beat until mixture thickens. Add vanilla and chopped nuts; beat until mixture will hold its shape. Drop from a teaspoon onto waxed paper.
