My Moms Divinity Recipes

Steps:

• 1. In sauce pan on low heat, stir sugar, water, and syrup till sugar dissolves...Bring to boil and let boil with out stirring, temp should come to 265* use a candy thermometer...
• 2. While it is boiling beat egg whites to stiff peaks...in a medium size bowl...
• 3. Syrup mixture should be 265* or form a brittle ball...I use a glass of cold water this cools it off faster when checking for a brittle balls...
• 4. While beating egg whites gradually pour syrup into bowl while beating or stirring constantly... Beat until creamy and add nuts or what ever else you are planning to add...Do this quickly before it sets on you...
• 5. if using a tin butter it first before pouring fudge into it..If using wax paper for drops, place waz paper out on to counter or table...
• 6. Using tsps (2) spoon out of bowl quickly before it has time to set...It does set fat...Let cool and put into an airtight container...If you used a tin you may cut as you do with regular fudge...

Steps:

• Separate egg whites and place in blender. Whip till peaks appear.
• Place sugar, water and Karo Syrup in a saucepan and heat past boiling till the mixture enters "softball" stage.
• With the blender still whipping, pour half of the syrup mixture slowly in the egg whites. Return other half of mixture to stove and heat to hardball stage.
• While the mixture is heating, add vanilla to ingredients in the blender. After the syrup mixture reaches hardball stage add slowly to the blender.
• Drop mixture by spoonfuls on wax paper. Press pecans onto divinity while hot. Allow divinity time to cool and setup.

Steps:

• 1 Place in sauce pan over low heat; sugar, karo syrup and water. Stir until sugar is dissolved, then cook without stirring to 252 degrees (hard ball stage). Remove from heat and pour, beating constantly, in a fine stream into the stiffly beaten eggs. Continue beating until mixture holds its shape and loses its gloss. Add vanilla and nuts. Drop from tip of spoon onto waxed paper or spread in greased shallow pan and cut into 1 inch squares

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325°F. Beat dry frosting mix, corn syrup, vanilla and boiling water until blended. Beat on high for 5 minutes or until stiff peaks form. Gradually beat in sugar on low. Stir in 1 cup chopped nuts, if desired. Drop by teaspoons onto wax paper-lined cookie sheet. Bake for 5 minutes. Let cool for about 4 hours or until firm. Turn to all bottom to dry. Air dry for about 12 hours. Store in air-tight container. (Doesn't work well when humid out!)

Steps:

• Cook sugar, corn syrup, and water in a 2-quart pot over low heat, stirring constantly, until sugar is dissolved. (On humid days, use 1 tablespoon less water.) Cook, without stirring, to 260 degrees on candy thermometer (or hard ball stage).
• Beat egg whites in 1-1/2-quart bowl until stiff peaks form. Continue to beat while pouring hot syrup in a thin stream into egg whites. Add vanilla; beat until mixture holds its shape and becomes slightly dull. (Mixture may become too stiff for electric mixer). Fold in nuts (if you choose).
• Drop from buttered spoon onto waxed paper. Let stand at room temperature, turning candy over once, until outside of candy is firm--at least 12 hours. Store in airtight container.
