Here are some divinity-making tips to help ensure successful results: Drop a spoonful of the divinity mixture onto waxed paper. If it stays in a mound, it has been beaten long enough. If the mixture flattens out, beat another 30 seconds and then check again.
If the mixture is too stiff to spoon, beat in a few drops of hot water at a time until a softer consistency is reached. If you make this candy on a humid day, you’ll have to beat it a little longer to make it mound up.
_ 2/3 cups sugar
___ cup light corn syrup
___ cup water
_ large egg whites
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
_ to 2 drops food coloring, if desired
___ cup coarsely chopped nuts, if desired
1. Cook sugar, corn syrup and water (use 1 tablespoon less water on humid days) in 2-quart saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly, until sugar is dissolved. Cook, about 20 minutes, without stirring, to 260° on candy thermometer or until small amount of mixture dropped into cup of very cold water forms a hard ball that holds its shape but is pliable.
2. Beat egg whites in small bowl with electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. (For best results, use electric stand mixer, not a portable handheld mixer, because beating time is about 6 to 10 minutes and mixture is thick.) Gently transfer egg whites to large bowl. Continue beating constantly on medium speed while pouring hot syrup in a thin stream into egg whites. Add vanilla and food color. Beat until mixture holds its shape and becomes slightly dull, scraping bowl occasionally. (If mixture becomes too stiff for mixer, continue beating with wooden spoon.) Stir in nuts.
3. Quickly drop heaping teaspoonfuls of mixture from buttered spoon onto waxed paper. Let stand uncovered at room temperature at least 4 hours, but no longer than 12 hours until candies feel firm and are dry to the touch. Store in airtight container.
