Elizabeth's Divine Divinity

We've missed the season of Christmas candy, but several posters have been discussing the late Elizabeth Coblentz's divinity recipe. So, what the heck, I'll post it now and you can save it for next Christmas. Or fix it now! There's no rule that says you have to save it for then.....Keep in mind, Elizabeth had several divinity recipes. Hopefully this is one people are seeking, this is from "An Amish Christmas"...our first self-published cookbooklet from way back in 1992!

FUDGE/DIVINITY

1 /3 cup of margarine

4 1 /2 cups of white sugar

14 ounces of evaporated milk

1 1 /2 cups of marshmallow

12 ounces of chocolate bits

13 ounces of sweet chocolate

2 teaspoons of vanilla

In a small saucepan, combine margarine, sugar, and milk over medium heat.  Boil 5 1 /2 minutes.  Remove from heat and add remaining ingredients.  Mix well.  Spoon into buttered pan.  Cool until firm and then cut out.


Divinity

Here in Central Illinois divinity is made with corn syrup, water, egg whites and vanilla.

You beat the egg whites to peaks and gradually pour in cooked syrup.

Fudge could be many ways, including a recipe like this one.

Re: Divinity

Well reaching back a few years into my memory - teenage years, helping to make divinity for our church members to sell to help pay the church bills - we used egg whites, evaporated milk & no chocolate.  I personally don't really care for either fudge or divinity, so probably won't taste this either, but might just try it at Christmas next year.
