Divinity is a classic candy make with granulated sugar, corn syrup, and stiffly beaten egg white.
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups sugar shopping list
- 1/2 cup water shopping list
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup shopping list
- 1/4 teaspoon salt shopping list
- 2 egg whites shopping list
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract shopping list
- 1 cup chopped pecans, toasted shopping list
- Garnish: toasted pecan halves shopping list
How to make it
- Cook first 4 ingredients in a heavy 2-quart saucepan over low heat until sugar dissolves and a candy thermometer registers 248° (about 15 minutes). Remove syrup mixture from heat.
- Beat egg whites at high speed with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Pour half of hot syrup in a thin stream over egg whites, beating constantly at high speed, about 5 minutes.
- Cook remaining half of syrup over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until a candy thermometer registers 272° (about 4 to 5 minutes). Slowly pour hot syrup and vanilla extract over egg white mixture, beating constantly at high speed until mixture holds its shape (about 6 to 8 minutes). Stir in 1 cup chopped pecans.
- Drop mixture quickly by rounded teaspoonfuls onto lightly greased wax paper. Garnish, if desired. Cool.
- Tip: Use blender with wide space between edge and beaters, pour syrup into mix near beaters not down side of bowl. When spooning work FAST it sets up fast.
