DIVINITY CANDY 
4 c. sugar
4 egg whites
1 c. water
Dash of salt
1 c. Karo
1 tsp. vinegar
1 tsp. vanilla
Nut meats

Mix sugar, Karo, water, and salt in a 2 quart casserole. Cook in microwave 19 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes. Candy thermometer should read 260 degrees or cook 1 or 2 minutes longer.

While syrup cooks, beat egg whites very stiff in a large bowl. Gradually pour hot syrup over eggs while continuing to beat at a high speed until thick and candy starts to lose its gloss. Beating may require about 12 minutes. Add vanilla and nuts. Drop by teaspoon onto wax paper. Makes 6 to 8 dozen.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
