I got this recipe from my HS Home Ec teacher in 1968. I've been making it ever since! It's a really good and easy recipe for Divinity.

Divinity

2 cups sugar

1/2 cup Karo syrup

1/2 cup water

1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)

1 tsp vanilla

2 egg whites (room temperature)

Stir water, sugar and syrup in saucepan over high heat until reaches hard ball 252 degrees on candy thermometer.

Meanwhile, beat eggwhites for 4 minutes. When candy reaches soft ball, slowly pour hot syrup over eggwhites while beating mixture with mixer. Mix well.

Add nuts and vanilla and continue to beat, this time by hand, until mixture begins to lose it's shine and thicken. Immediately pour into buttered pan (to cut into pieces) OR drop by spoonfulls onto waxed paper. (I drop) Let harden. Keep in airtight tin.

Some people like to tint divinity with foodcoloring. (red and green for Christmas?) I leave it white. The choice is yours.
