Recipe Introduction
divinity made with Jell-O...
This is best made with the help of a candy thermometer to insure
the sugar crystals in the mixture are very fine, which will result in a
smooth texture.
List of Ingredients
3 cups sugar
3/4 cup water
3/4 cup light corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 egg whites
1 (3-ounce) package strawberry flavored gelatin
1 cup chopped pecans
Recipe
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 to
3 minutes to wash down sugar crystals from sides of pan. Uncover and cook
over medium heat, without stirring, to hard ball stage (258 F). 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 whites until mixture holds its shape (3 to
4 minutes). Quickly stir in pecans, and drop mixture by rounded teaspoonfuls
onto waxed paper.
Let cool. Yield: About 4 dozen.
