Pure pink confection and yummy!!

3 cups Sugar

3/4 cup Water

3/4 cup Light Corn Syrup

1/4 teaspoon Salt

2 Egg Whites

1 (3oz.) package Strawberry Flavored Gelatin

1 cup chopped Pecans

Combine first 4 ingredients in a heavy 3 quart saucepan; cook over low heat, stirring gently until sugar dissolves.  Cover and cook over medium heat 2-3 minutes to wash down sugar crystals from sides of pan.  Uncover and cook over medium heat, without stirring, to hard ball stage (258°).  Remove from heat.

Beat egg whites in a large bowl at high speed with an electric mixer until foamy.  Add gelatin and beat until stiff peaks form.  Pour hot syrup mixture in a thin stream over egg white while beating constantly at high speed until mixture holds its shape (2-3 minutes).  Quickly stir in pecans and drop mixture by rounded teaspoonfuls onto wax paper.  Let cool.  Yield:  4-1/2 dozen.
