OLD-FASHIONED DIVINITY CANDY

Provided by Lisa H.

Categories     Desserts     Candy Recipes     Divinity Recipes

Time 50m

Yield 18

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups white sugar
½ cup light corn syrup
½ cup hot water
¼ teaspoon salt
2 egg whites
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • In a heavy, 2 quart saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup, hot water, and salt. Cook and stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a boil. Then cook to hard ball stage without stirring, 250 degrees F (120 degrees C.) Frequently wipe crystals forming on the sides of the pan, using a pastry brush dipped in water. Remove from heat.
  • Just as the syrup is reaching temperature, begin whipping egg whites: In a large glass or stainless steel mixing bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Pour hot syrup in a thin stream over beaten egg whites, beating constantly with the electric mixer at medium speed. Increase speed to high, and continue beating for about 5 minutes. Add vanilla; continue beating until the mixture becomes stiff and begins to lose its gloss. If it is too stiff, add a few drops hot water.
  • Immediately drop by teaspoonfuls onto waxed paper. For a decorative flair, twirl the top with the spoon when dropping. Let stand until set. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

DIVINITY CANDY



Divinity Candy image

Making this traditional Southern candy works best on a dry day; too much humidity prevents it from setting. For best texture, work quickly when scooping the candy. If it's setting too quickly, stir in a few drops of hot water until smooth.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Time 6h50m

Yield Makes 4 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
3 large egg whites
Pinch of kosher salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
48 toasted pecan halves

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup, and 1 cup water. Bring to a boil, stirring just until sugar dissolves, and cook until syrup reaches 250 degrees (firm-ball stage) on a candy thermometer.
  • Meanwhile, in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, starting on low and gradually increasing to high, beat egg whites with salt until stiff peaks form. If peaks form before the syrup reaches 250 degrees, reduce speed and keep mixer running on low.
  • With the mixer on medium speed, add the syrup in a slow, steady stream (taking care not to hit the whisk or side of the bowl). Add vanilla. Increase speed to high and continue to whisk until mixture holds it shape and begins to lose its gloss, 10 to 20 minutes. Prepare a small bowl of hot water for dipping and a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop or two spoons; line up miniature candy cups on a baking sheet.
  • Working quickly, use cookie scoop or spoons to drop 1 heaping tablespoon candy into each cup, dipping scoop into hot water as needed to prevent sticking. Press pecans into candy. Let candy cool completely, at least 6 hours and up to overnight. Candy can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 week.

JEWELED DIVINITY

Categories     dessert

Time 1h30m

Yield 24 candies

Number Of Ingredients 6

Butter, for the pan
2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3/4 cup light corn syrup
2 large egg whites
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups gummy candies, such as Dots or Jujubes

Steps:

  • Butter a straight-sided 8-inch square cake pan and set aside. Line with a single sheet of parchment paper.
  • Attach a candy thermometer to the side of a saucepan. Add the sugar, corn syrup and 1/4 cup water to the pan and bring to boil, stirring until the sugar has just dissolved. Continue to cook until the syrup reaches 255 to 260 degrees F on the candy thermometer.
  • Meanwhile, in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  • When the syrup reaches temperature, slowly (and carefully) drizzle it into the egg whites with the mixer on high. Once the syrup is fully added, pour in the vanilla and continue to beat until the mixture is no longer glossy and holds its shape, 7 to 8 minutes.
  • Remove the bowl from the stand mixer and, moving quickly, fold 1 cup of the gummy candies into the mixing bowl using a wooden spoon. Transfer the mix to the prepared pan and do your best to spread into an even layer--it will be very sticky. Sprinkle the remaining candies over the top, lightly pressing them in to ensure they stay.
  • Allow the divinity to cool completely, about 1 hour. Cut into 1 1/2-inch squares and store in an airtight container.

HOLIDAY DIVINITY



Holiday Divinity image

Take one bite of this Southern classic, and you'll see why its name supposedly originated from the word 'divine'! Divinity candy is nougat-like confection that typically has mix-ins like dried fruit and nuts. For a festive holiday version, candied cherries, candied citron, and pecans were chosen to be folded into the light clouds of meringue. Note that the nougat mixture will need at least 8 hours to dry until it is sliceable, so plan accordingly.

DIVINITY FUDGE



Divinity Fudge image

My grandmother used to make this all the time when I was little. It always reminds me of her when I see it in the fudge store windows.. So easy to make too. The picture I found on another site.

Provided by Mary Beam

Categories     Candies

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 c white sugar
3/4 c white corn syrup
1/2 c boiling water
2 egg whites
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
1 c chopped walnuts, or whatever kind you like

Steps:

  • 1. Mix sugar, corn syrup and water together and cook, stirring constantly, until tested by dropping a teensy bit into cold water. When done, it will crack against the side of a cup (270 degrees on a candy thermometer).
  • 2. Beat the egg whites until very stiff.
  • 3. Add the salt and vanilla to the egg whites.
  • 4. When the syrup is ready, pour very slowly into the stiffly beaten whites. Beat until creamy.
  • 5. Add 1 cup chopped walnuts.
  • 6. Pour into a buttered 8x8 inch pan, or you can drop them my teaspoonful onto waxed paper. Let cool.

Tips:

  • Use quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the divinity will be. Use real butter, not margarine, and high-quality semisweet chocolate.
  • Cook the sugar syrup to the right temperature: The sugar syrup should reach the soft-ball stage, which is 235 degrees Fahrenheit. If the syrup is not cooked to the right temperature, the divinity will not set properly.
  • Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form: This will help to incorporate air into the divinity, making it light and fluffy.
  • Add the sugar syrup to the egg whites gradually: This will help to prevent the egg whites from cooking. Stir constantly until the divinity is thick and glossy.
  • Store the divinity in an airtight container: Divinity can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Divinity is a delicious and easy-to-make candy that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a sweet treat that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give divinity a try.
