How to Make Divinity
a Holiday Tradition

You are here:
Old Recipes Home >> Holiday Recipes >> Divinity

I can remember when Christmas came around, how we looked forward to this sweet treat called Divinity. Some people think it is too sweet, but I never did. I especially liked the way it just melted in your mouth.

The recipe below is for a holiday divinity. You use colored flavored jello to give them the fruit taste and the Christmas colors.

Holiday Divinity (Recipe from 1974)

2 egg whites
1 - 3 oz package fruit flavored geleatin
3 cups sugar
3/4 cup light corn syrup
3/4 cup water

Beat egg whites until light. Add geletin and beat till stiff. Cook remaining ingredients. Stir until mixture reaches hard ball stage, 250 on a candy thermometer. Beat in the egg whites and pour into a 8 inch buttered pan. Cool and cut into squares.

Divinity Fudge (Recipe circ. 1919)

Boil 2 cups of light brown sugar and 1/2 cup cold water until mixture forms a firm ball when tried in cold water.

Beat 1 egg white until stiff, add syrup slowly, beating until creamy.

Add one 1/2 cup chopped nut meats and 1 teaspoon of any desired flavor. Drop onto wax paper in lumps. Candied fruit or coconut may be substituted for nut meats.

Strawberry Divinity (Recipe from 1974)
Makes 2 1/4 pounds

3 cups sugar
1/4 cup light corn syrup
3/4 cup water
2 egg whites
1 pkg strawberry flavored gelatin
1/2 cup flaked coconut
1 cup chopped pecans

Combine sugar, corn syrup, and water in a 2 quart saucepan and heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until a small amout of the mixture forms a hard ball when tested in cold water (252 on a candy thermometer) Beat egg whites until foamy, add gelatin, beating until mixture forms peaks. Slowly pour hot syrup into beaten egg whites. Beating constantly on high speed of electric mixer. Beat until candy begins to hold shape. Fold in coconut and nuts. Place in a greased 9 inch square pan. Cool and cut into squares.
