NO-FAIL DIVINITY

Ingredients

4 cups sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
3/4 cup water
Dash of salt
3 egg whites
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup chopped nuts

Preparation

Combine sugar, corn syrup, water and salt in a 2-quart casserole or large mixing bowl. Microwave uncovered on high for 22 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes. (Candy thermometer should read 260 degrees; if not, cook 1 to 2 minutes longer.) While syrup cooks, beat egg whites in a large bowl until very stiff. Gradually pour hot syrup over egg whites, and continue beating at high speed for about 12 minutes, or until mixture thickens and loses its gloss. Stir vanilla and nuts into beaten mixture. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto waxed paper. Let air-dry overnight, then store in a covered container. Makes about 6 dozen pieces.
