Make when there is little to no humidity for perfect Divinity.

1 c. sugar
1/2 c. water
1/8 tsp. cream of tartar
3 egg whites
2 c. sugar
2/3 c. light corn syrup
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 c. water
1 tsp. vanilla
2 c. pecans

Put 1 c. sugar, 1/2 cup water and cream of tartar into a saucepan; stir to blend, then boil rapidly without stirring to 240 degrees or until syrup will spin a thread 6" long, dropped from a metal spoon. Immediately remove from heat.

meanwhile, beat egg whites until stiff. In another saucepan have combined the 2 cups sugar, corn syrup, salt and 1/2 cup water. When first mixture is done, place second mixture over heat and boil with occasional stirring until syrup reaches 280 (medium crack stage).

meanwhile, pour the first syrup while still hot, over egg whites adding slowly and beating continuously until stiff and smooth. Set aside until second syrup is done; cool a minute or two. Then pour it slowly over first mixture, continuing to beat until smooth and so stiff that it is hard to handle. Add vanilla and nuts. Onto buttered pan, press out smooth and cut into squares.
