My Homemade Marshmallows!! Sooooo easy!

Here's my recipe! This is from the 50's and can be decorated with sprinkles of all kinds. Mine turned out nice and thick as I made them in a 8x8 pan instead of 9x13 like the original recipe called for. Enjoy!
Ingredients: 2 envelopes unflavored gelatin 2 cups white sugar 1-1/4 cups water, divided Directions: In a large mixing bowl, stir together gelatin and 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons water. Set aside to soften. Combine remaining 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons of water and sugar in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar. Do not stir once the sugar syrup begins to boil. Heat to 270 degrees F (130 degrees C) (or about 6 min.). With an electric mixer running on low speed, carefully pour hot sugar syrup into gelatin mixture. Beat on high speed until mixture is light and fluffy and mixture is no longer warm to the touch, 10 to 15 minutes. (I did this for exactly 11 min.) Pour into a lightly greased 8x8 inch baking dish and let set 8 hours or overnight. Cut into squares and serve. |
Do you leave it sit on the counter top over night or in he refrigerator?

I wonder if this could be made with splenda?

p.s. I did spray the knife with Pam so the cutting was easier or a hot knife would give the same results! |

These are wonderful by the way and so much BETTER than store-bought! Freezing them is an excellent way to have them for hot cocoa in the fall and winter and much to my amazement, they needed NO thawing, haha! Store-bought marshmallows need to that for at least 1 min. as I've timed them before. You can tell I've always wanted to make my own marshmallows and finally got around to it!! Another thing about making marshmallows is that it will not 'explode' on you like some suggested when combining the syrup with the gelatin as in a science experiment. It just didn't happen. |
Yummy! Thanks for sharing! Homemade Marshmallows are the best!

They look delicious! I wonder how it would be as a cake filling and icing?

These are wonderful. I give them in a jar or other cute container at Christmas with some nice hot chocolate packets. Folks rave about them. :-)
