DIVINITY Two cups of white sugar, one-half cup of thick karo corn syrup, one- half cup of water, one teaspoon of vanilla, whites of two eggs, one cup of chopped nuts. Have eggs beaten stiff. Boil sugar, water and syrup until it will form a soft ball when dropped into cold water. Dip out one cup of the syrup and pour very slowly into the whites of the eggs beating all the while. In the mean time, the rest of the syrup must be boiling until it cracks like glass in cold water being careful not to burn. When the first cup of sugar is beaten into the whites, add the remainder slowly, beating rapidly. When all the syrup is beaten in add vanilla and nuts, pour into a buttered pan. If syrup cooks too long before first cup is poured off, candy will not be creamy. If whole thing does not boil long enough, candy will not harden.
