Karo light corn syrup - 1 cup
water - 1/2 cup
cider vinegar - 1 t
egg whites, beaten dry - 2
vanilla extract - 1 t
walnuts, broken - 1 cup
Place the sugar, corn syrup, water, and vinegar in a pot and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Cover and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes. Remove the cover and cook to 260 to 265F. (If the weather is dry, cook to 260. if it is damp and rainy outside, cook to 265F). Remove pan from the heat and allow to cool for a few minutes. Then pour syrup over the beaten egg whites and beat vigorously until the mixture is very stiff. Cool until lukewarm (about 110F). Add the vanilla and the nuts mixing them in well. Then drop from a butter teaspoon on waxed paper or a buttered cookie sheet.
This recipe card has the ingredients listed like this, so that's unique. I've come to the conclusion that nobody really cares for or eats divinity anymore. It's not that this recipe is bad or anything. Just nobody eats it. I do love the directions for different types of weather though!
