vanilla marshmallows

August 1, 2010 by Leave a Comment

have you had a homemade marshmallow? if not, please make these. not only do they far surpass those jet-puffed, bleach-white mallows in flavor…they are deceptively easy to make. plus, everyone will think you are some sort of confectionary genius. these mallows were made to impress.

listening: the wrong side of reno: rocky votolato

because that was our recessional song for our wedding and, well we live, met and went to school in reno.

Next week, I will be camping with my fam near Santa Cruz, Ca…I’m very excited. I’m bringing the mallows for some s’more action. Be excited!

Homemade Marshmallows

adapted from this recipe at epicurious.

I used organic cane sugar instead of regular white, granulated sugar. Since my husband and I have been on a quest to virtually eliminate  High Fructose Corn Syrup from our diets, I used Lyle’s Golden Syrup in place of corn syrup. I have also used honey with excellent results. MMMmmm, honey scented mallows! (Can be made and stored in an airtight container for two weeks at room temperature.)

Nonstick cooking oil spray

1 cup cold water, divided

3, 1/4-ounce envelopes unflavored gelatin

    This looks great. I have always wanted to make marshmallows but dont like corn syrup. Golden syrup seems like a great sub. Love the blog, just stumbled on to it, but will be coming back….

    These marshmallows look so lovely. I’ve never attempted making them from scratch. I might just have to try it!

    It’s sooo true! I mentioned the other day that I’ve made homemade ‘mallows and the other moms were totally awed. Needless to say I felt great and didn’t mention that homemade marshmallows weren’t some great culinary feat! 🙂
