Old Fashion Divinity | A Trick To Successful Results 

I'm so excited that you are feeling better!!

Oh Lippy just they way I love it a little surgery and lots of pecans I would love your flop ones If you would not have shown us the mixer those 2 times Glad you are feeling a little better Blessings

Bingo! You are the first person besides myself that talks about squeaky clean equipment! I always always wash every single item I'm going to use in hot soapy water before I make it. I only use my magnalite Dutch oven. Momma always used hers and she was the divinity queen in our neck of the woods. She sold it every Christmas for years. Her first rule was clean equipment. I've never had a bad batch of divinity because she taught me everything she knew about making this fluffy sweet delicious candy.

I’d like to see you make a orange and cranberry something…. Cake, danish, cupcake…bread!

I’ve never made Divinity. Im at 1300ft above sea level in Missouri Ozarks. I might try my hand at this. Be blessed my friend 🥰

I have many wonderfully happy memories making divinity with my momma❣️❣️ She always made sure that I was right there with her as it was mixing because we had to work fast to spoon it out before it got hard. We made 3 double batches; white with walnuts, green with pecans and plain pink! Thank you for sharing your pot of hot water trick‼️ Can't wait to try it out‼️‼️😀

I'm so nervous about making divinity! But I want some so bad. I haven't had this since I was a kid. I'm 61 now. That's a looong time! Lol

That’s the same as the recipe my Grandma gave me, it does take a little bit of practice. She also said to put a spoonful on wax paper, if it doesn’t hold it’s shape you have to beat it some more. I do like your hot water trick, definitely going to try that!

Hi Lippy it's good to see you back and goofy again. I would like to try to make this however I will need Mike to help with the sugar. It's been a long time since we made these. Again so happy you are well. blessings, Rochelle

I love this stuff. I can't believe I've never made any. I'm gonna see how you do it.

Just made this , & it finally turned out! I wasn’t mixing the egg whites / sugar mixture together long enough . I may have went a tad bit more than I should but THANK YOU for the crystal clear , real instructions . I have added this to my special recipe canister and can’t wait to make more . 😊

I remember my grandmother saying the weather had to be right to make divinity. My family would not have a tooth pulled or any surgeries unless the moon was in a certain phase. Sounds crazy but I should have paid closer attention.

This look 👀 so good I hope grandpa and Vice President buddy get some of this candy.

I've never heard of divinity candy before looks yummy. The two things that I love about your videos are I learn something and get a good laugh. Keep up the awesome videos ms lippy.

Thanks for the great recipe. I’m gonna make it soon. I couldn’t help but notice you have beautiful white eyes and teeth.!!

Yum! Thanks for recipe! 💗

❤This was my mother favorite Christmas candy! I would make it for every year until she Pass away. Can't Waite until your next video Ms. Lippy

I want to thank you for sharing this recipe. I haven't seen anyone make it in years. This brings back so many childhood memories. Lippy, I bet you know how to make old fashion pull candy. If you do I would love seeing you make it one day. You are looking so beautiful as always! Glad you are feeling better 😊

I make this same recipe but haven’t used the hot water trick. Two years ago I made 39 batches for friends and family thanks for sharing. I always use a candy thermometer like you did but sometimes I have made it in the rain I only have a hand mixer so it wears this ole 73 year old woman out

Here the humidity needs to be around 50. % in the kitchen. Sometime need to boil water before making and check humidity in the kitchen. Love divinity

Hello! My mama loved divinity. It's so yummy. I about burned my beaters up one year making it for her.🤣The nut logs are good with divinity inside. God bless you and your family ❤️✝️It looks soo delicious.

My grandma made divinity every year when I was growing up. We loved it! She would store all her baked items & fudge in the coolest room of the house.

MERRY CHRISTMAS, HOUSE LOOKS MAGICAL!

I am at elevation 3520 ft above sea level !!! Way out in west Texas.

All of my life I have shied away from making divinity because it intimidated me. I absolutely love Divinity! You made this look so doable and simple. Thank you! I noticed your basket of farm fresh eggs on the counter…yayyyy ❤

Thanks for sharing. My husband has always wanted me to make them but I was never to sure about it. I may try it now.

This is John's favorite, but I'm not sure that my hand mixer would cut it!

I have not made divinity for years look good

I don't know how many mixers I have killed trying to make it. Sometimes successfully 🤣

Never had made. Do thumb print. Love orange marmalade

I used to help my sisters make these when I was little. Great memories. Thanks and I am loving your videos.

Fantastic! I cannot believe how nice that divinity turned out, even in this damp, muggy weather!! Thank you and your auntie for this recipe!

I used to help my Granny make this many years ago. Never had the urge to do it myself since I got grown. I make plenty of other stuff to make those boys happy.

My best friend and I get together several times before Christmas and make our goodies for family and friends. We have never attempted Divinity , but we are going to this year! Thank you so much for the hot water tip! Much love and prayers coming your way !❤️

Girl.... I’m 2,100 feet above sea level. Thanks for the recipe! ML and Many Prayers! 💙💛🙏

Ahhh this brought back so many memories! My son loved Divinity. I haven’t made it since his suicide December 3, 2009. Today (the 7th) is my B-day; I just might make it for memories sake, since there will be no one home but me! I’ll have my memories and candy all to myself. You are looking glowing today-God Bless.

Copper is a better conductor of heat than stainless steel. It will help you reach a hard ball stage quicker and avoid burning. My grandma used to make divinity every year at christmas. We didn't have a candy thermometer so I learned how to drizzle the sugar mixture off the side of a spoon until it formed a thread from a drop of syrup from the spoon to the pan and then I knew it was time to get a move on! It was so much fun and a memory I will treasure forever. Thank you for sharing and taking me back to my childhood. ❤❤

I remember my mom making divinity at Christmas. I remember her stringing in the corn syrup and then of course me eating it. 😀

I made this in homemaking class back in the day, thanks for the recipe. I will give it a try as I remember it tasted so good. Just gained 5 lbs watching you eat yours lol❤

It's been many years since I've eaten Divinity. This will be my first time making it. I'm a writing it down Ms Lippy. Wish me luck. Thank you hun for sharing.

Yummy!! I’m the candy maker in our family. Any recipe that calls for pecans, I always double, can’t get too many pecans! 😂 I was told copper heats most evenly and that’s why they always used it in the old days for candies. Many Blessings!!

Ms Lippy, you look so pretty in this video. Your hair and makeup look really beautiful. It’s good to see you back and balls to wall again! Lol I’ve never made Divinity, but this looks like a recipe I can follow and get good results! Thank you so much!! ♥️🙏🏼♥️

My favorite Christmas candy! I have never made it. My sister-in-law makes the best I have ever had. She uses a double boiler and it takes 2 people to pour it out perfectly. I may have to get down on my knees and beg for it. She never makes it unless it’s cold outside and low humidity. Love ya Ms Lippy! Glad to see you back!♥️🙏🏻

Good Evening Ms Lippy I have tried to make Divinity many many times I will be making this tomorrow thank for the tips. Will let you know how it turned out

I’ve never tried this candy but your video is awesome and I want to try and make this

💕

My Mama made divinity every year

Its been awhile since I tried....💘 Love divinity and always wind up making taffy 😊 I'm not letting it beat long enough I think????.... I've only used a had mixer too. Good to see you Ms Lippy❣

Oh man I don't know how I missed this video. Guess being sick got me off track. I was waiting after the Brittle video you made hoping you'd make one 😂.

I always heard if raining don't do chocolate candy, that it won't set up.

🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️

looks great, My grandma used to make this white candy that I loved but I dont even know what it was called I was hoping this was it lol

😋❤️❤️

Ok I must be the only one in the world who has never had divinity candy 😂

Never cared for it so never had the desire to even attempt to make it. I did occasionally watch my Mom and sisters make it though so I could see if it failed or not. LOL

I have never succeeded at divinity and the last time I tried my mixer sprayed it all over the cupboards and walls....it was a miserable mess.

I don't think I've had divinity since I was a kid. Can you make it chocolate? 💝💝

You sure are pretty

I'm saving this recipe I've made Divinity a couple times and it came out okay but it wasn't great. Thank you for the water trick. We like to see you but don't be overdoing it.

I never had Divinity candy before. Can you use chopped candied fruit?

You said 2 degrees of difference based on altitude. But. you also said 260 degrees, then said 159 or 158 degrees. That is so much more than 2 degrees. What is the true numbers 259 and 258 or 159 and 158? It will matter in the end product made

Divinity can be made anytime. You dont need a thermometer, just a big glass bowl. Melt the sugar mixture , med heat for 6-8 minutes or until if will stay together when dropped into a bowl of cool water. when it will stay together and form a ball ( soft ball stage) then pour the 1/2 ofsugar mixture of the stiff egg whites mix with a hand mixer ( only) add the flavoring at this poing and mix for about 3 minutes While returning the sugar mixure back to the heat, stirring frequently, heat for another 4-8 minutes or until the mixture will harden / crack when its dropped into the bowl of cool water. when it is at the hard crack stage, take it off the heat and begin to mix , when the mixture becomes stiff enough to stay up on the bowl, it is then ready for pecans . So easy a toddler could do it . You are welcome!!
