With the summer months and camp fires coming up learn to make homemade marshmallows. These taste so much better than store bought and they are really easy to make.
Marshmallows
3 (1/4-oz.) packages unflavored powdered gelatin
1 cup water
1 1/2 cup sugar
1 cup corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup powdered sugar
In your mixer with a whisk attachment, sprinkle the gelatin over 1/2 cup of the cold water and whisk to combine. Let it stand about 10 minutes while you make the other mixture over the stove.
in a medium saucepan combine the sugar, corn syrup, salt, and the remaining 1/2 cup water. Cook over high, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Clip your candy thermometer to the side of the pan. Continue cooking until the mix reaches 240 degrees on a candy thermometer, about 10 minutes.
Immediately, turn the mixer to medium-low speed and carefully drizzle in the hot syrup. Once all of the syrup is combined, gradually increase the mixer speed to high speed, and beat until the mixture is very thick and fluffy, 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in the vanilla.
Pour the marshmallow mixture into a 9x9 or 9x13 pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray and quickly smooth the top by spraying your hands with cooking spray and patting the mix down. Let the mix sit until fully cool lightly covered.
Place powdered sugar in a bowl. Using a knife or scissors that have been sprayed with cooking spray cut the marshmallow into about even squares. Coat the cut marshmallows in powdered sugar until no longer sticky a nd dust off the excess powdered sugar.
Put the marshmallows in a ziplock or air tight container up to one week.
