Strawberry Divinity Candy Recipe

Here is a vintage recipe from my great grandmother. She used to make this Strawberry Divinity Candy for us all of the time when we were little kids. Now that I have found her recipe, I will have to make them myself because if I remember correctly, they were pretty good!

STRAWBERRY DIVINITY RECIPE

3 c. granulated sugar
3/4 c. light corn syrup
3/4 c. water
2 large egg whites, stiffly beaten
1 (3 oz.) pkg. strawberry jello
1 c. chopped nuts (optional)
1/2 c. flaked coconut (optional)

Combine the granulated sugar, syrup and water. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Then cook without stirring to 260 degrees on candy thermometer. Combine beaten egg whites and jello. Beat until mixture forms peaks. Pour hot syrup in a thin stream into egg whites, beating constantly. Beat until candy loses its gloss and holds its shape. Fold in nuts and coconut. Drop by spoonful onto wax paper.
