Divinity

Divinity is so divine. If you're not a fan of the melt-in-your-mouth, dreamy, addictive, perfectly sweet treat that must've been concocted in Heaven, then my dear, what is wrong with you? You've come to the right place to develop your sweet tooth and begin your love affair with an old-time favorite from the South. Or is it? From the South, that is. Well, historians aren't quite sure, but they think adding pecans could've been a Southern spin on the recipe. Although recipes for nougat and sweet meringue-like confections (with or without nuts and fruit) are said to have originated in Turkey and 17th century Europe, food historians seem to agree that Divinity (also called Divinity Fudge or Candy) was created in America during the early 20th century. The thought was that Divinity was an affordable candy to make because of it's use of Corn Syrup. As for the name? Divinity was described  as "divine" and the name stuck. One important tidbit about Divinity is the somewhat "high maintenance" nature of preparing this jewel. First, the weather conditions actually have to be right --the barometric pressure must be 30 or over. You also have to add the hot corn syrup and sugar to the fluffy egg whites at just the right moment when it's a "hard ball" at 260 degrees. I'll provide a no-fail, best-ever Divinity recipe --straight from my Grandmother's recipe file that explains all this further. That's another thing I'd like to mention, why is it that most of our Grandmother's made this remarkable treat every Thanksgiving and Christmas season? As the years go by, and our Grandmothers pass on, the art of making Divinity will be all but lost. I'm here to continue the tongue-tingling tradition. I'm making my special recipe Divinity available to you to make at home or you can just buy batches of it from me!  My latest variation of the Divinity recipe includes orange food coloring and a Halloween theme. Your kids will go "nuts" for this treat.
