Divinity
2 2/3 cup sugar
2/3 cup light corn syrup
3/2 cup water (1 Tbsp. if weather is real humid) 2 egg whites 1 tsp. vanilla
4/3 cup cut-up nuts
Heat sugar, corn syrup and water in a 2-quart pan on low heat until sugar is dissolved, stirring
constantly, then cook without stirring to 260 degrees on candy thermometer or until small amount
dropped in very cold water forms a hard ball. Remove from heat. Beat egg whites until stiff.
Continue beating while slowly pouring hot syrup in egg whites. Add vanilla. Beat until mixture holds
