Title: Fudge ( Divinity )
Categories: Candy
Yield: 4 Servings

1 1/2	c	Sugar
3	oz	(6 Tbsp.) light corn syrup
3	oz	Hot water
	ds	Salt
1		Egg white
1 1/2	tb	Flavored gelatin powder
1/2	ts	Vanilla
		Candied cherries, pineapple,
		Coconut, etc., if desired

Butter sides of heavy saucepan; in it combine sugar, corn syrup, water and salt. Cook and stir till sugar dissolves and mixture begins to boil. Cook to hard-ball stage (250ø) without stirring. Remove from heat.

Meanwhile, beat egg white to soft peaks; gradually add gelatin, beating to stiff peaks. Add vanilla and pour hot sygar-syrup mixture slowly over egg white mixture, beating constantly with mixer at high speed till soft peaks form and mixture starts to lose its gloss. Stir in candied fruit or whatever, if desired. Beat by hand until mixture holds its shape. Drop from teaspoon onto waxed paper or buttered cookie sheet. Store air-tight.

NOTE: This recipe is a little touchy.....it sets up quickly, so if you have a friend to help you drop the candy, you may have better luck. Also, don't make it if it is raining or very humid - difficult, in our area, I know!
