DIVINITY
2-1/2 cups
sugar
1/2 cup corn syrup
1/2 cup water
2 egg whites
1 teaspoon vanilla
walnuts (optional)
1/2 cup corn syrup
1/2 cup water
2 egg whites

Prepare waxed
paper first. (You'll need to work fast when dropping divinity onto
buttered waxed paper.) Cook sugar, corn syrup, and water until candy
thermometer reads 230o F. While cooking syrup, whip egg whites. Pour 1/2
of the syrup into egg whites. Let remaining syrup boil to 250o F and then
pour into mixture. Beat until dull. Add vanilla. Add walnuts if desired.
Drop on paper quickly in desired size; mixture will set up fast!
Store in sealable container. Yields: approximately 2
dozen.
