I live in Louisiana, and if non-humidity was necessary, we'd never have it. I use 3 cups sugar, 1/2 cup water and1/2 cup corn syrup. I cook to soft ball, add half the syrup and then cook the other half to hard ball. You are right, you have to beat until it loses its gloss.

Absolutely right. Air-conditioning makes outdoor humidity irrelevant when making candy indoors. That used to be more of an issue in the past.

1:04 Humidity is no longer a factor in making divinity due to homes now having A/C. Air conditioners keep humidity relatively stable. I've made divinity with it pouring rain outside with no problems whatsoever. Pro-tip: instead of wiping down the rim of the pot with water (which adds unwanted moisture to the syrup, simply place a lid on the pot for 1 minute. When you remove the lid, you will see that the sugar crystals have been washed/dissolved and the sides will be perfectly clean.

Can I use this recipe for frosting a cake. My mother would make me my birthday-cake every year and the frosting was kind of hard/crunchy. I wish I could make it. Maybe you can give me some direction. Thank you so much.❤🎉❤

Can this recipe be used to frost a cake? My mother used to put something as thick and chunky as divinity, but without nuts, on my birthday cake. Could this fecipe be used as a icing/frosting on a cake? Tbank you for your response! ❤🎉❤

My mom still uses the divinity recipe from the 1985 Betty Crocker cook book. So, I reckon you made the exact same stuff my mom does. Hard to say whether it's candy or crack cocaine.

Folks tend to be nervous about making this candy. Remember six important things and you will always have beautiful fluffy divinity. 1. Always wash every item you are gonna use for the candy in hot soapy water before attempting divinity. Grease is the enemy and the reason for failing. 2. never stir the sugar mixture in pot. 3.Never go above 260 degrees (taylor thermometers are the most reliable and relatively inexpensive) because candy can become chewy. 4. Always let eggs come to room temperature before starting. The humidity thing is an old wives tale. I’ve been making divinity for almost fifty years and it comes out the same rain or shine. Just remember this candy hates grease. 5. Keep watching as it mixes because you can over beat it also which makes it tough. 6. Vanilla is a very important ingredient. It gives the candy it’s true flavor. I only use Mexican vanilla. To me it’s the best for your money. Don’t let this candy intimidate you. The more you make it the better you will understand how easy it is to make. Because of the difference in sea levels there is no set mix time on this candy. Watch for the glossy look to dull a bit and don’t be afraid to remove the whisk and test to see if candy stands at peaks on it. That’s when it’s truly ready. If you toast your pecans don’t toast them a lot. The oils in the nuts can make the candy not set like it should.

Another great video. I have never tried divinity candy. I will have to see if Irene, my wife, who is German, made this before in Germany. So, Hope, God bless you and Merry Christmas from Irene and I. Paul

You need to try it but the boxed or bakery kind isn't that good. The homemade is awesome in my opinion. God bless you and your family, Paul. Thanks for taking the time to watch my videos 👍❤😄.

Is there a way to make the candy look smooth/not spikey with spoon marks? I'm wondering if it could be squeezed out of a piping bag with a larger sized tip? Or maybe a trigger style ice cream scooper?
@hopewins1629
@hopewins1629 4 жыл бұрын
A trigger ice cream scooper might work. You couldn't use a piping bag because you would have to work fast. It would stiffen in the bag and be hard to get out. There is a short opportunity when it is smooth for scooping as it cools.

A piping bag wouldn't work. With Divinity you jave to work very fast and it would already start to harden before you get it in the bag.

I made it with my aunt probably 50 years ago, and she would pour it in a square or rectangle pan. But in past years, I've only seen it made in drops from a spoon.

I am totally with you about wanting nothing in my divinity--not nuts, not cherries, I just want the divinity on its own! It's the main reason I came to this recipe after seeing so many made with pecans. I am going to try this recipe, thanks so much. I need to buy a Candy thermometer first.

It does matter if they are at room temp because egg whites beat better at room temperature

@hopewins1629 3 жыл бұрын
No, once it starts to set up, you have to move very fast for it to look smooth. It would clump up in the bag. It would taste good but it would be a mess.

It is a lot softer than meringue but I can see why you would think that because it has a lot of the same ingredients. The hot syrup changes the texture.

Never saw this version. So many ingredients and steps. Usually it’s just sugar, egg white, vanilla and a “sour” = a few drops vinegar, lemon juice or cream of tartare. Low oven
