Divinity
3 cups sugar
? cup corn syrup
? cup of water
3 egg whites (beaten stiff)
1 cup of nuts (pecans)
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Combine sugar, corn syrup and water. Boil about 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, drop a little of the mixture in a bowl of cold water. It should form into a hard ball. If it doesn?t, then cook for longer. Keep testing until you get it to form a hard ball.
Beat egg whites stiff. Pour the syrup in w/ the egg whites. Beat it a while. Then add in nuts and vanilla.
Drop spoonfuls of mixture onto wax paper until hardened.
Secret is to get the syrup cooked just to the right stage.
