Divinity

List of Ingredients




DIVINITY

2 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup water
2 egg whites (at room temp)
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup chopped hazelnuts



Recipe



In a heavy saucepan over medium-high heat, heat the sugar, corn syrup,
and water to the boiling point, stirring until the sugar is completely
dissolved. Cover the pan of boiling syrup and cook for 2 or 3 minutes to
allow the steam to wash down the crystals from the sides of the pan.
Remove the lid and cook without stirring over medium heat to 264F (hard
ball stage).

Meanwhile, in a good size mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until they form
and hold peaks. Pour the syrup slowly in a thin, steady stream over the egg
whites, continuing to beat all the while. Mixture will be stiff. Remember, do
not scrape the saucepan. Add vanilla and nuts, and beat until the divinity is
satiny and holds stiff, glossy peaks.

Drop the candy by heaping teaspoonfuls onto waxed paper or a buttered
cookie sheet. Cool. Store in a tightly covered container. *Note: Must be
made on a dry day...will not harden in humid weather.
