Divine Divinity
- 3 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup water
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 large egg whites
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chopped nuts and/or candied cherries (or
mixture of both)

a 3-quart saucepan. Cover pan and bring to a boil. Remove cover

into cold water and forms a ball that holds its shape but is
pliable.

bowl until stiff. Gradually pour in hot syrup in small stream
while continuing to beat. Add vanilla and continue beating until
mixture will hold its shape when dropped from spoon.
