Sugary foods with no corn-syrup are hard to find these days. Can you imagine marshmallows with no corn-syrup? I bet the recipe would go a little something like this:
Homemade Marshmallows (adapted from multiple recipes...)
- 1 tablespoon (or packet) gelatine
- 1/4 cup cool water
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 and 1/8 cup water
- 3/4 tablespoon of honey
- Pinch of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 cup powdered sugar
- 1/8 cup cornstarch
In a large bowl mix gelatin and cool water. Set aside.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar, remaining 1/4 and 1/8 cups of water, honey, salt and vanilla extract. Stir constantly (so that the sugar doesn't burn) until mixture has reached a slow boil (about 15 minutes). Remove from heat and slowly pour into the gelatin mixture.
Using a mixer, beat on low until its combined and then increase the speed to high. Beat for 10 to 15 minutes until mixture thickens and it resembles a thick, marshmallow cream. Pour into pan and spread evenly.
After it has cooled (about 20 minutes in the fridge or 3 to 4 hours sitting out), sprinkle powdered sugar over the top. Cut into squares with a sharp knife and roll the sides of each marshmallow square in powdered sugar so that no part of the marshmallow is sticky. Keeps 2 weeks in an airtight container.
I think tomorrow night calls for a cup of hot chocolate....
