Divinity 2

2 1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. boiling water
Flavoring
1/2 c. corn syrup
2 egg whites
1 c. walnuts or pecans

Combine the sugar, corn syrup and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook to 240° by candy thermometer, or until mixture forms firm ball. Beat egg whites until stiff. Pour 1 cup of the syrup mixture over the egg whites, beating constantly. Cook the remaining syrup until it reaches hard ball stage or 265°.
