After my mother passed away, I inherited her little file box of recipes. I am sharing them here for all her descendants and anyone else who might enjoy them. Most of them are quite outdated as we have access to a greater variety of ingredients now, we eat healthier and we have internet to help us! If you do use one of the recipes, I would love to have a comment on what you think of it.

Divinity

This is a very old recipe as I know it was handed to my mother by her mother. If you like making your own candy for the holidays this is a real winner.

  • 2 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1/2 cup corn syrup
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 egg whites beaten stiff

  1. Cook until it will spin a thread.
  2. Pour half of it into the whites of 2 eggs beaten stiff.
  3. Cook the other half until it will harden in water then pour it into the first half.
  4. Beat until creamy.
  5. Pour into buttered dish or drop from a spoon.
