Microwave Pecan Divinity image

I found this recipe when I decided to make Christmas candy and my stove didn't work. I don't have a candy thermometer, and it still worked for me. It was very tasty. I found it in a cookbook, but I don't remember which one.

Time 40m

Yield 18-24 candies

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup light corn syrup
2/3 cup water
3 cups sugar
2 egg whites
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup chopped pecans or 1 cup whole pecans

Steps:

  • Combine and cook sugar, syrup and water; microwave 8 minutes on High or until clear. Stir, cook 8-10 minutes more or until firm ball stage (260 degrees). Beat eggs and salt in a medium bowl until firm peaks are formed. Pour syrup over the whites and beat with a mixer until it loses its shine. It will be thick like marshmallow cream. Add nuts, drop by spoonful onto wax paper. You can also top the drops with a whole pecan if you prefer to mixing in the nuts.

I would not recommend this recipe. It was too difficult to follow and the results were not worth the effort.

This recipe is a waste of time. My divinity never set and I ended up throwing it all away.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my divinity turned out really grainy. I'm going to have to try this recipe again.

These were okay, but I've had better. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and my divinity turned out too hard. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think I'll try making them again with less sugar.

I made these for my family and they were a big hit! They're so rich and decadent, and the pecans add a nice crunch.
