[While I was working on the family cookbook, I asked my mother for the recipes of several homemade candies I remembered from childhood. Her response refers in the first sentence to my father: "You know I'm not & never have been the candy maker in this family but these should serve the purpose. The divinity recipe is from the Independence County Home Demonstration Council of many years ago -- giving the members' names, so they gave recipes they were sure of."]
