Divinity
2 cups Sugar
1/2 cup Water
1/2 cup Corn Syrup
1 Egg White -- stiffly beaten
1 teaspoon Vanilla
1/2 cup Nuts -- chopped (optional)
1 pinch Salt
Beat the egg white until stiff in a large
sized bowl and set aside. In a medium sized
saucepan, boil the sugar, water and syrup
while stirring constantly. The mixture is
done at 235 degrees or at soft ball stage.
Pour the mixture over the beaten egg white,
beating continually. Add vanilla, nuts and a
pinch of salt. Add a few drops of red or
green food coloring if desired. Beat this
mixture until it is almost hard, then drop
by the teaspoonful onto waxed paper.
Store in an airtight container to prevent
