How To Make divinity

• 1

  Cook only on a DRY day!
• 2

  In heavy-bottom pan over medium heat, boil syrup of sugar, water and corn syrup until close to done (about 10 minutes); will spin a thread to pot.
• 3

  Take candy off heat.
• 4

  Beat egg white with a pinch of salt until you have stiff peaks.
• 5

  In a large bowl, add the hot syrup to the beaten egg white while mixing at a high speed.
• 6

  If syrup starts to harden, pour a little more.
• 7

  When mixture gets stiffer and warmer, can add in a larger stream.
• 8

  Add vanilla extract to candy.
• 9

  Stir by hand until texture dulls (seems like it takes FOREVER).
• 10

  When cool, add nuts (if you add them too soon, the heat pulls the oil out of the nuts and the candy won\'t harden).
• 11

  Drop by tablespoons onto waxed paper.
• 12

  To expand the recipe, use no less than 2 cups of sugar; if you quadruple, add an extra egg white, especially if eggs are small.
• 13

  Might also try stirring in 3 ounces of broken white chocolate before dropping candy (won\'t melt).
