Guest guest Posted June 13, 2001 Report Share Posted June 13, 2001 I know it is hard to find vegan marshmallows!! But looky here!! Got this from www.healthy-eating.com: Vegan Marshmallows * 2 1/2 TBSPS Veg Gelatin (such as Emes Kosher Gel) * 1 1/2 CUP Sugar * 1 CUP light corn syrup * 1/2 cup COLD water * 1/2 cup room temperature water * 1/4 TSP salt *2 TBSPS Vanilla Extract (or the flavoring of your choice) * Corn starch for dusting 1.Combine Gel and 1/2 cup COLD water in the bowl of a mixer with a whisk attachment. Let stand for 1/2 an hour. 2. Mix the sugar, corn syrup, salt and 1/2 cup water in a saucepan. Stir it over low heat until the sugar is dissolved and a syrup has formed. 3. Cook it until firmball stage [244 degrees Farenheit] (I *strongly* reccomend that you get a candy thermometer if you don't already have one). Remove the pan from heat, slowly and carefully pour the syrup into the gelatin/water mixture in the bowl of your mixer. Beat the mixture at high speed until thick, white and tripled in size (approximately 15 minutes. If you want to stop before then, however, you get marshmallow creme which you can store in a jar and use like the commercial stuff). Add the vanilla (or flavoring of your choice) and beat just long enough to mix it. 4. Dust an 8X12 " glass baking pan with corn starch. Pour mixture into it, dust the top with more corn starch. Wet your hands and pat the mixture to smooth out the top. Dust it again. 5. Let it stand overnight to dry out, uncovered. The next morning, turn the " marshmallow cake " onto a board and cut it into small pieces with a dry, HOT knife. Dust again. Makes about 45 Marshmallows.

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2001 Report Share Posted June 15, 2001 I see we are still interested in vegan marshmellows... My husband bought some the other day at a grocery store that were SUPPOSEDLY vegan. they are called Elyon(made in Israel and are labeled Kosher / parve.) My husband wasn't totally sure about how vegan thet were (wasn't sure about " Kosher gelatin " ) . A man who worked in the store wearing a kippah assured him that everything was from a vegetable source or it wouldn't be able to say " parve " . The kids were so excited...but I was skeptical THANKS to email from this group!!! (They bought them when I wasn't along) but as soon as I got home I called the company on the bag(in NJ) and spoke to some man who explained to me that they are parve but the source of the gelatin is from ANIMAL HIDES (cows)!!! Yuk! I didn't stay on the phone long enough for him to explain how , in his mind, this was kosher. I'm jewish and know what parve is supposed to mean (no animal ingredients...but possibly fish or egg...still yuk) but I bet there are a lot of people out there who think they are eating vegetarian when they are eating animal hides!!! how disgusting!!! Be careful!! In the mantime, is there any hope that the Emes compnay will come back? 'Sorry this was so long but I'm still mad about it.
