My mom called, and she wants her cookbook back! I borrowed it before Christmas because I wanted to make Divinity. It was so good! I must warn you, this should not be made with a hand held electric mixer. When we made it, we burned the motor out on my mother in-laws mixer. We made a few more batches, but made sure to use the heavy duty Kitchen-Aid.
Divinity
3 cups sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup water
Dash of salt
2 egg whites, stiffly beaten
2 tsp. vanilla
3/4 cup chopped nuts
---------
Boil sugar, syrup, water, and salt to hard ball stage or 250° on candy thermometer. Remove form heat; pour slowly over egg whites, beating constantly, until mixture has dull appearance (2 beater mixer - about 7 minutes;Kitchen-Aid - about 7 minutes). Fold in vanilla and nuts. Drop by spoonful on waxed paper-lined tray (as fast as you can).
Pull the eggs out a few hours before making this recipe. They will work better if they are at room temperature.
