Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

3 tablespoons vegetarian " gelatin " -- see Note*

1/2 cup water

2 cups sugar

3/4 cup light corn syrup

1/2 cup water

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons vanilla extract

 

Soften gelatin in water for 1 hour.

 

Prepare a syrup. Place in a heavy pan over low heat and stir until dissolved

the sugar, corn syrup, water and salt.

 

When the mixture start to boil, cover it about 3 minutes to allow any crystals

which have formed to be washed down from the sides of the pan. Continue to cook

uncovered and unstirred over high heat to the firm-ball stage (244ºF).

Overcooking makes the marshmallows tough. Remove the mixture from heat and pour

slowly over the gelatin, beating constantly with an electric mixer. Continue to

beat about 15 minutes after all the syrup has been added. When the mixture is

thick but still smooth, add vanilla.

 

Put the mixture into an 8 x 12 in pan that has been lightly dusted with

cornstarch. When it has dried for 12 hours, remove it from the pan, cut it into

square with scissors dusted with cornstarch, and store the fully dusted pieces

in a closed tin.

 

VARIATIONS:

 

Chocolate-Mint Marshmallows: Substitute creme de menthe for the vanilla, cut

the marshmallows into desired shapes and dip in melted chocolate.

 

Coconut Candies: Substitute coconut extract for the vanilla and roll the damp

marshmallows in toasted coconut instead of cornstarch.

NOTES : Emes and Kojel are two brands of vegetarian " gelatin " . They are

available at kosher food stores, Seventh Day Adventist stores, or online from

KosherGrocer (http://www.koshergrocer.com) or Pangea (http://www.pangeaveg.com).

They are kosher gelatins but, BEWARE, all kosher gelatins are NOT vegetarian --

these two brands are.
