4 Cups Sugar 3 Egg Whites, Stiffly Beaten 1 Cup Light Corn Syrup 1 Teaspoon Vanilla 3/4 Cup Water 1 Cup Nuts, Broken
Place sugar, corn syrup and water in a saucepan over low heat. Stir until sugar is dissolved; then cook without stirring until thermometer reaches 255 degrees (Hard Ball Stage). Remove from heat and pour, beating constantly, in a fine stream into egg whites. Continue beating until mixture holds its shape and loses its gloss. Add vanilla and nuts. Drop quickly from tip of spoon onto waxed paper in individual peaks or spread in a buttered pan and cut into 1-inch squares when firm. Makes 8 dozen pieces.

"Not to be made on a rainy or humid day. Divinity is very temperamental and will not turn out if the environmental conditions are not right, so only try to make this on a clear, comfortable, and dry day. Otherwise, it isn't too hard to make." - Calla Ferre
