Tips for Making Divinity
- Use fresh, cold ingredients. If your ingredients are warm or room temperature, the divinity will not set properly.
- Cook the mixture until it reaches the soft ball stage. This means that when you drop a small amount of the mixture into cold water, it will form a soft ball that holds its shape.
- Don't overbeat the mixture. If you overbeat it, the divinity will become grainy and stiff.
- Add the flavorings and nuts as soon as the mixture is removed from the heat. This will help to prevent the flavorings from evaporating.
- Pour the divinity onto a buttered baking sheet or pan. This will help to prevent it from sticking.
- Let the divinity cool completely before cutting it into pieces. This will help to prevent it from becoming sticky.
Conclusion
Divinity is a delicious and easy-to-make candy. By following the tips above, you can make sure that your divinity turns out perfectly every time.
