Strawberry Coconut Divinity(Make on a Dry Day with Low Humidity)

In a heavy bottom saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup and water and bring to a boil, stirring constantly, then cover and let boil 3 minutes while the steam washes down any crystals formed on the sides of the pan.

Remove lid and cook to hard ball stage (250° on your candy thermometer).

Stir occasionally while cooking to hard ball stage.

While this is cooking, beat egg whites and combine them with the gelatin in another saucepan; pour the hot syrup in a thin stream into the egg white-gelatin mixture, beating simultaneously.

Mixture will lose gloss and begin to hold shape. Fold in coconut and nuts.

Pour into buttered 9-inch square pan. Let cool.

Cut into pieces.
