How To Make Divinity

Making Divinity

To make divinity, first beat egg whites with an electric stand mixer at high speed until soft peaks form. Set aside.
Combine sugar, corn syrup, water, and salt in a heavy 2-quart saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Wash down any sugar crystals on the sides of the pan with a brush dipped in hot water.
Boil for about 10 minutes or until mixture reaches hard ball stage, which is 260 degrees on a candy thermometer.
With mixer running at high speed, pour syrup over egg whites in a pencil-size stream.

Add vanilla. And beat for about 8 to 10 minutes or until mixture thickens and mounds slightly when dropped from a spoon. Stir in pecans.
Quickly drop candy onto wax paper by rounded teaspoonfuls. To make the process a little easier, use one spoon for scooping out the candy and another spoon to scrape the candy from the spoon onto the paper. Let cool completely.

So refreshing to have a recipe given without a lot of talking thank you for simplifying the process.

My mother made the best divinity ever!! I wish I had paid attention. She poured hers into a pan and cut it into small bite size squares. I remember she said never try this on a humid or rainy day.

My Mother made this for me once about 55 years ago and I've longed for it ever since.

Ummmm why does the batch of divinity at the beginning of when they’re spooning it out of the bowl look totally different than the batch that they were spooning out of the bowl at the end of the video?

This reminds me of when my Grandma NEVER MADE DIVINITY

u can use malt syrup, glucose syrup, brown rice syrup, or just dissolve 1 cup sugar in 1/4 cup water heated over low flame.

its like a hard thick creamy marshmallow that dissolves in your mouth. i can eat many a dozen

[bluerabbit]

I wasn't expecting the word Pecan to sound like that 😂😂 This looks so good though

[dianab]

If you spray each spoon with spray oil like Pam the candy won't keep sticking

[JannaLRodriguez]

you can always make Nut Rolls if it does make divinity!

How hard would it be to give the recipe? Only four ingredients. Page not found

That link is not of this recipe. It says use frosting.

[cherylforguesbeaird]

can parchment paper be used instead of wax paper?

[jacobhamm]

Ain’t no way your first batch turned out. That shine on the first ones vs the cut scene at 1:31 is a whole different batch.

Your end product looks nothing like what you spooned out... And there are no pecans in the spoon process...😲
