Divinity (Confectionery) (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Divinity is a nougat-like confectionery made mainly with egg white, corn syrup, and sugar. Flavorings, chopped dried fruit and chopped nuts are optional, but frequent ingredients. Replacing the sugar with brown sugar results in another related confection called "sea foam." Believed to have originated in the early 1900s, this treat can be traced to its current form in a recipe dating to 1915. Another earlier version, which included the use of milk, can be traced about eight years earlier, or 1907.
