My grandfather made this wonderful divinity for our family every Christmas for as long as anyone can remember. I should mention that the recipe is a bit weather-dependent ; don't make it on a rainy, damp day... It won't set up quite right unless the atmosphere is reasonably dry. Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups sugar |
1 1/2 cups white corn syrup (karo) |
1/2 cup water |
1 cup black walnut |
2 egg whites, beaten stiff |
Directions:
1. Mix sugar, syrup, and water; cook mixture until it forms a soft ball. Add extract if using.
2. Divide into 2 equal portions.
3. Fold the stiff egg whites into half the mixture VERY SLOWLY.
4. Continue cooking the remaining half of the mixture until it forms a hard ball.
5. Combine mixtures very slowly.
6. Fold in nuts.
7. Pour into pan immediately.
