    Where does the phrase sea foam come from? Anyway good job on the best candy hands can make.

      This isn't sea foam candy. Sea foam has brown sugar as well, which gives it a tan/light-brown color.....like sea foam.

      ​@@SuperTinyTurtleNo, no it does not...
      There is no brown sugar in sea foam candy.
      It turns brown during the cooking process, it caramelizes.
      Its called Sea Foam, because it looks like foam, that floats on the sea, all the bubbles... 😊

    Sea foam candy contains brown sugar. This is standard divinity. Just FYI :)

      @@NanasHiddenApron Your grandmother can call it whatever she wants...because she's grandma!!! Hahaha. I've had both "sea foam" and standard divinity...and I much prefer the standard divinity. It's getting hard to find, so I make it myself now. Unfortunately, I've put on a few pounds eating it too!

      I have the original recipe for sea foam candy from the factory that made it here in Canada.
      My grandmother was best friends with the owners daughter.. 😊
      There is no brown sugar in seafood candy.
      It is a candy that is cooked to 300 degrees, to the hard crack stage and it does not contain egg whites either.
      What you made is divinity, personally I've never had it, but heard of it, so I knew what you were making.
      I want to try your recipe, it looks real good.
      So the vanilla doesn't burn by putting it in that early??
      I would also like to know how your grandma did that by hand?
      You mean she had a hand beater or mixer or something, right...
      She didn't just stir really fast with a wooden spoon right, cause that's gotta be impossible...
      Even with the hand beater she must of had muscles like the rock... lol😅
      Thank you for sharing...

      @@catpride1323 thank you very much for your comment and for watching my video. No the vanilla does fine. And yes she would beat it by hand and not with a mixer. I don't remember her ever using a hand mixer for anything. I don't know why she called it seafoam candy. Perhaps that is what her mother called it.

    Hey, my Mammaw used to add dark kero as well. How would that change the recipe??? I have missed this so much.

    • @NanasHiddenApron
      @NanasHiddenApron  Рік тому

      My grandma only used Light corn syrup so I am not really sure how it would work with the dark.

    • @catpride1323
      @catpride1323 9 місяців тому

      It would work the exact same way, just a little bit difference in the taste.
      The dark has a more rich flavor, the candy might not be as white.
      But it would cook the same and turn out just as well.
      😊

      My grandmother could whip it up and it would taste perfect every time. It's something that the weather has to be just right for it to come together. Some folks don't like it but typically most people do.

      3 cups sugar, 1/2 cup corn syrup, 1 teaspoon vanilla 2/3 cup of water in a pan. Mix well over medium heat until it starts to boil. Boil to 252 degrees not stirring. Whip 2 egg whites to stiff peaks. With mixer on medium high slowly pour in hot mixture until well combined. With 2 spoons place candy on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Spoon candy out quickly as it will set up as it cools.

      Can add chopped nut of you choice just before spooning out
