Easy Christmas Divinity

Submitted By Pamela Ann Gatlin Schulz
This divinity is so easy to make in the microwave
and so good. You won’t ever make it any other way
again! Makes a great gift, too.

Ingredients:
2 cups white sugar
⅓ cup water
⅓ cup light corn syrup
¼ tsp salt
2 egg whites
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup pecans or nuts of your choice, chopped

Preparation:
Combine sugar, water, corn syrup and salt in a
glass casserole dish. Cover with plastic wrap and
microwave on high for 5 minutes. Remove from
microwave and take off plastic wrap. Stir well and
return to microwave uncovered. Cook on high for
another 4 to 5 minutes until reaches hard ball stage
when a little is dropped in cold water. Remove and
cool about 4 minutes. Beat egg whites until stiff
with mixer. Pour sugar mixture over egg whites
beating constantly with mixer until mixture starts to
lose its gloss and holds together- about 4 or 5
minutes. Stir in vanilla and nuts. Drop by teaspoon
onto wax paper. Makes about 25 pieces depending
on size you make them. Enjoy!

Note: To clean glass bowl you used in microwave
soak in warm soapy water immediately after empty-
ing sugar mixture.
