Microwave Divinity Recipe 425

MICROWAVE DIVINITY

Steps:

• Place egg whites in the bowl of a heavy-duty stand mixer; let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes., In a microwave-safe 2-qt. bowl, combine the sugar, water, corn syrup and salt. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 4 minutes; stir until sugar is dissolved. Cook 6-8 minutes longer or until a candy thermometer reads 260°(hard-ball stage), stirring every 2 minutes. Just before the temperature is reached, beat egg whites on medium speed until stiff peaks form., With mixer running on high speed, carefully pour hot syrup in a slow, steady stream into the bowl. Beat just until candy loses its gloss and holds its shape, 15-20 minutes. Immediately stir in pecans and vanilla. (Do not overmix, or candy will get stiff and crumbly.), Working quickly, drop by tablespoonfuls onto waxed paper. Let stand at room temperature overnight or until dry to the touch. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

MICROWAVE DIVINITY RECIPE - (4.2/5)

Steps:

• In large (at least 8 cups) microwave safe bowl or microwave safe batter bowl, place sugar, corn syrup, salt, and water. Stir. Microwave on high for 4 minutes. Stir. Microwave for 9 minutes more. While that is cooking, place egg whites in a large very clean mixing bowl (stand mixers are ideal for this). Beat until stiff peaks form. Set aside until syrup is done cooking. Remove syrup from microwave. Place on a potholder or folded towel next to your mixer. Turn mixer back up to high and slowly pour a continuous but very thin stream of syrup into the bowl while it is mixing until all syrup has been added. Add vanilla while continuing to mix. Mix for 4-5 minutes more or until divinity loses it's sheen and begins to hold it's shape. Quickly drop by spoonfuls onto waxed paper. Once it's all dropped onto the paper, quickly shape into smoother balls with clean hands. Press a pecan half into the top of each one. Store in airtight container. Enjoy! NOTE: Do not make on a rainy day! This is for about a 1000 watt microwave oven. If you have a higher watt one, then lower cooking time. You can also cook syrup on stovetop until it reaches 260 degrees on a candy thermometer.
