Nutty Divinity
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 cups white sugar
- 1/2 light corn syrup
- 1/2 cup water
- dash of salt
- 2 eggs whites
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Mix sugar, corn syrup, water and salt over medium heat in a medium sized saucepan.
- Boil the mixture until it reaches 260 degrees F on a candy thermometer or until a small amount of mixture dropped into ice water holds it's shape, but flattens when pressed.
- Beat eggs whites on high until stiff peaks form. Continue beating while slowly pouring hot syrup into egg whites.
- Add the vanilla and beat mixture until no longer glossy (this can take anywhere from 6-10 minutes).
- At this point, mixture should be able to hold its shape. Stir in chopped nuts (I made half of my candies with nuts and half without).
- Drop scoops of mixture onto a sheet of waxed paper.
- Allow divinity to harden (this may take several hours) and then place in an airtight container.
Notes
I recommend not making this recipe if the weather is humid. The divinity will not set with extra humidity in the air.
