Delicious Honey Divinity With Chopped Pecans

The holidays just wouldn't be the same at my house without a batch of homemade divinity. This sweet treat is decadent, light as air, and absolutely delicious!

If you encounter challenges while preparing my divinity recipe, please refer to the end notes for troubleshooting tips. The technique I am sharing is effective for all divinity recipes that do not yield the desired results.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of granulated Splenda or granulated white sugar

• 5 tablespoons and 1 teaspoon (1/3 cup) of premium honey

• 5 tablespoons and 1 teaspoon (1/3 cup) of water

• 2 egg whites, beaten to soft peaks

• 1 1/2 cups of chopped pecans, chopped Maraschino cherries, or chocolate chips

Instructions:

Here's a fun and easy recipe for making delicious divinity candy!

First, grab a heavy-bottomed pan and mix together granulated Splenda or sugar, honey, and water. Boil the mixture until it reaches a hard ball stage. To test if it's ready, drop a small amount of the syrup into cold water; it should harden and keep its shape.

While the syrup is cooking, beat 2 egg whites in a glass bowl until they form soft peaks. If you don't have a mixer, you can use a wooden spoon. It'll just take a bit longer, but that's how they used to make candy back in the day!

Pour the hot syrup over the beaten egg whites, and beat the mixture for 20 to 25 minutes until the divinity loses its glossiness. Stir in some chopped pecans, Maraschino cherries, or chocolate chips.

Drop spoonfuls of the divinity onto wax paper and let it harden. Once it's set, transfer it to an airtight container for storage.

If your divinity doesn't turn out quite right, don't worry! Just pop it in the microwave until it starts to swell, then mix in half a cup to 1 cup of powdered sugar and freeze it for about 10 minutes. Scoop spoonfuls of the divinity out on waxed paper and let it harden. This trick should fix any failed divinity recipe.

Enjoy! Happy Holidays!🌲⛄☃️❄️🌲☃️⛄❄️

I tried Martha Stewart's slow-cooker triple chocolate brownies recipe- this is how they turned out There's one lady on this earth (besides mom) that I have always simply adored; Martha Stewart. Anyone who knows me knows that Martha has been my lifelong hero since I was a teenager. She's witty, beautiful, and exceptionally talented in so many various ways.

Even though I have a multitude of recipes, I had never made slow-cooker triple chocolate brownies before.

While some people may think that is too long to ...

American pokeweed

American pokeweed American pokeweed is a perennial, and it's commonly known as a survivalist plant. The plant is often referred to as poke salad, poke sallet, pokeweed, poke, among a few others. During the first days of spring, purplish shoots of pokeweed emerge from the soil. The plant will often pop up as a volunteer, and depending on the location, pokeweed can grow anywhere from 6 feet to 20 feet tall. The stalks and stems of pokeweed are an attractive purplish plum color. The leaves are a beautiful green color, and they can grow as big as 14 inches long by 7 to 8 inches wide. The plant's leaves will be tapered at each end. By summer, pokeweed begins producing long clusters of green and white flowers. The flowers turn into green berries that then transition from a light pink to a dark plum color. Pokeweed grows flowers and berries often at the same time and will continue to grow until the first frost. I have never pulled a pokeweed plant up from its roots, but I...

Vegetables that contain protein

Vegetables that contain protein If food prices have you scrambling down the aisles of the grocery store trying to find something that's more affordable than meat but still has protein, know that you're not alone! Back in the days when my grandparents went through the Great Depression, it was really tough times, but they survived through the hardships by growing their own food. There are a lot of veggies that actually do contain protein, and they're packed full of additional nutrients that our bodies all need. Vegetables highest in protein: Vegetables high in protein include artichokes, asparagus, beans, bean sprouts, and beans in general: broccoli, Brussel sprouts, chickpeas, green peas, kale, mushrooms, mustard greens, spinach, sweet corn, and turnip greens. For a few examples: Black beans contain 15 grams of protein in just a 1-cup serving. In fact, a 1/2 cup of cooked beans provides close to 7 grams of protein, which is the same as eating one ounce of meat. As for collar...
