RECIPE of the Day - 12/08/2006


Divinity always reminds me of Christmas. Divinity and Fudge are the candies of Christmas. They may be a little time consuming, but the end result is always delicious. Tomorrow, I will feature a really great fudge recipe, so please check back.




Divinity

21/2 C. granulated sugar
1/2 C. light corn syrup
2 egg whites
1 t. vanilla


In 2-quart saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup water.
Cook to hard ball stage (260 degrees F) stirring only until sugar dissolves.


Meanwhile, beat egg whites to stiff peaks. Gradually pour syrup over egg whites, beating at high speed on electric mixer. Add vanilla and beat until candy holds its shape, 4 to 5 minutes. Quickly drop from a teaspoon onto waxed paper.


Makes about 40 pieces.
