Instructions
Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form.
Boil sugar, syrup and water, stirring constantly until it reaches 260°F (126°C) about 8-10 minutes. You can test it's doneness by dropping a bit into cold water, if it turns into a hard ball it is done.
Beat - Slowly pour the mixture over the beaten egg whites while mixing on high speed - don't rush. This step should take about 2 minutes until all of the mixture is combined.
Continue to beat on high speed for another 5-8 minutes until the candy loses some of its glossiness and starts to hold its shape.
Mix in the vanilla, pinch of salt and the chopped pecans
Shape - While still hot, pour into greased tins or drop onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper using two lightly oiled spoons to form shapes.
Let the candy set and enjoy!
