Cherry Divinity
It's just not Christmas without these light and airy confections on my dessert platter. The recipe is versatile because you can replace the cherry gelatin with any flavor that suits your taste.—Crystal Ralph-Haughn, Bartlesville, Oklahoma
60 Servings
Prep: 35 min. Cook: 25 min. + standing
Ingredients
2 egg whites
3 cups sugar
3/4 cup water
3/4 cup light corn syrup
1 package (3 ounces) cherry gelatin
1 cup chopped walnuts
Directions
Place egg whites in a large stand mixer bowl; let stand at room
temperature for 30 minutes.
In a heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, water and corn syrup; cook
and stir until sugar is dissolved and mixture comes to a boil. Cook
over medium heat, without stirring, until a candy thermometer reads
250° (hard-ball stage).
Just before the temperature is reached, beat egg whites until foamy.
Gradually beat in gelatin. Beat until stiff peaks form. With mixer
running on high speed, carefully pour hot syrup in a slow, steady
stream into the bowl. Beat just until candy loses its gloss and
holds its shape, about 5 minutes. Immediately stir in walnuts.
Quickly drop by tablespoonfuls onto waxed paper. Let stand at room
temperature overnight or until dry to the touch. Store in an
airtight container at room temperature. Yield: 5 dozen.
