Alice Castle Luxton's Divinity

2 cups white sugar
1/2 cup Karo
1/2 cup water
2 egg whites
1 teaspoon vanilla

Cook sugar, Karo, and water till it forms a brittle ball in cold water. Pour over stiffly beaten egg whites; beat till firm. Pour or drop by teaspoon on greased pans.

My grandmother was the best cook I (or anyone else I have ever spoken with) knew. Everything she made was from scratch--her bread, hamburger buns, clam fritters, roast beef spread for sandwiches--you name it.

I was lucky enough to inherit her cookbook when she passed away; most recipes are in her own handwriting. She was smart enough to mark the ones that were "favorites." She also was very good about writing down who had given her the recipes.

Her divinity recipe was justly famous. I hope you love it as much as we do.
