My mother was known for her divinty and this recipe always came out perfectly. It melts in your mouth and is a holiday favorite. Also, this makes a great gift. Ingredients:
2 1/3 cups sugar |
2/3 cup white corn syrup |
1/2 cup water |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
2 egg whites |
1 cup chopped pecans |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla |
Directions:
1. Stir the first four ingredients together in a saucepan over low heat until the sugar is dissolved.
2. Boil without stirring to 265 degrees on a candy thermometer or until a little mixture that is dropped in cold water forms a hard, almost brittle ball.
3. Remove syrup from heat and slowly pour over stiffly beaten egg whites, while beating with a mixer until mixture loses its gloss and a small amount that is dropped from a spoon holds its shape.
4. Fold in nuts and vanilla.
5. Pour into a greased 9 x9 x2 pan or drop by spoonfuls onto waxed paper to cool.
6. Store in tins.
