How To Make divinity

• Step 1
  Cook only on a DRY day!
• Step 2
  In heavy-bottom pan over medium heat, boil syrup of sugar, water and corn syrup until close to done (about 10 minutes); will spin a thread to pot.
• Step 3
  Take candy off heat.
• Step 4
  Beat egg white with a pinch of salt until you have stiff peaks.
• Step 5
  In a large bowl, add the hot syrup to the beaten egg white while mixing at a high speed.
• Step 6
  If syrup starts to harden, pour a little more.
• Step 7
  When mixture gets stiffer and warmer, can add in a larger stream.
• Step 8
  Add vanilla extract to candy.
• Step 9
  Stir by hand until texture dulls (seems like it takes FOREVER).
• Step 10
  When cool, add nuts (if you add them too soon, the heat pulls the oil out of the nuts and the candy won\'t harden).
• Step 11
  Drop by tablespoons onto waxed paper.
• Step 12
  To expand the recipe, use no less than 2 cups of sugar; if you quadruple, add an extra egg white, especially if eggs are small.
• Step 13
  Might also try stirring in 3 ounces of broken white chocolate before dropping candy (won\'t melt).
