OLD-FASHIONED DIVINITY 
3 c. sugar
1/2 c. water
2 well beaten egg whites
1/2 c. white Karo syrup
1 tsp. vanilla

In saucepan boil the sugar, water and syrup over a medium heat until it reaches the soft ball stage. That is when you drop a little syrup in cold water, it will then form a soft ball.

While you are cooking the syrup to a soft ball stage, have the mixer beating the egg whites until they are stiff. Pour half the syrup into the stiffly beaten egg whites. Keep boiling the rest of the syrup until when a spoon full is dropped back into the pan it will form a small long line of crackling sugar and water.

Pour rest of syrup into egg mixture and continue beating until the candy stands up in peaks. Put on wax paper by the spoonfuls. You may color the divinity if you wish to make it appetizing.
