Who knew that making homemade marshmallows was so simple...or even possible? When I first read the article, I knew that it would be a great project for a chilly fall or winter day. Last weekend was the perfect opportunity, so I set out to make them!
The first step was boiling the corn syrup, water, and sug
ar mixture to 240 degrees. Easy enough.The next step was to add the hot mixture to the gelatin and water mixture that was ready in a mixing b
owl.Magic happens! It start to actually look like marshmallow goop in just a few m
inutes.After adding vanilla, you pour the mixture into a baking pan and let set for four hours to firm up.
Cutting the marshmallows make be the trickiest part as they are pretty sticky! Once they are cut, you dust them with a mixture of powdered sugar and potato flour so that they don't stick together.
Chocolate fondue for dessert! What a great way to spend a Saturday in Vermont. It was really very simple to do and they of course tasted so much better than store bought marshmallows. I will definitely be making these again. Can't wait to try them in hot chocolate or s'mores!
