Divinity This microwave Divinity, recipe has never failed me. The only problem I have had is cooking too long; then you had better have someone handy (like a kid..sigh) to help you drop the candy before it gets too hard... :)
1) In a 3-quart glass bowl, microwave sugar, syrup and water on FULL POWER for 12 to 18 minutes, or until mixture spins a fine thread.
- 3 c Sugar
- 1/2 c Light corn syrup
- 2/3 c Water
- 1/4 ts Salt
- 1 Egg white
- 1/4 ts Vanilla
- 1 c Chopped pecans
2) In another bowl, add salt to egg whites, beating constantly until whites are stiff and form peaks.
3) Slowly pour a thin stream of syrup mixture into egg whites, beating constantly until mixture loses shine and thickens.
4) Stir in vanilla and nuts. Immediately drop by teaspoonfuls on waxed paper.
I've never liked Divinity -- too sweet (guess I'm just sweet enough already ;) ), but my son loves the stuff! His adopted grandmother used to make the stuff by the barrel. He was in Heaven!
