Divinity Fudge

3 cups sugar

1/2 cup corn syrup

1/2 cup cold water

2 egg whites

1 teaspoon vanilla

PLACE sugar, syrup and water in a pan over slow fire, stir only until sugar is dissolved, then cook until a little tried in cold water forms a soft ball. BEAT egg whites until stiff, CONTINUE beating and POUR 1/2 the syrup slowly over the beaten egg whites, CONTINUE beating while cooking the rest of the syrup, until it forms a hard ball when tried in a cup of cold water and cracks when hit against the side of the cup. ADD this syrup gradually to the syrup an egg mixture, add vanilla and continue beating until candy is thick enough to drop from a spoon. Nut meats may be added just before candy is ready to spoon.

Note: Divinity, Fudge and English Toffee are the three candies that disappeared, nearly within a matter of minutes, any time Caj's Mother made them; which was usually for the holidays. Years later, when Caj's youngest brother, later his twin nephews, wanted divinity, they learned how easy it was to make, and did so. Oops, gotta go, it's not a good idea to drool on ones' computer keyboard.
