   Preparation Time: 0:20
   Combine sugar, water, and corn syrup in a 3-quart saucepan;
   cook over low heat, stirring gently, until sugar dissolves.
    Cover and cook over medium heat 2 to 3 minutes to wash
   down sugar crystals from sides of pan.  Uncover and cook
   over medium heat, without stirring, to hard ball stage (260
   degrees).  Remove from heat. Beat egg whites in a large
   mixing bowl until stiff peaks form.  Pour hot sugar mixture
   in a very thin stream over egg whites while beating
   constantly at high speed of an electric mixer.  Add
   vanilla, and continue beating just until mixture holds its
   shape (3 to 4 minutes).  Stir in pecans. Drop by rounded
   teaspoonfuls onto wax paper.  Let cool.  Yield:  about 6
   dozen.
