By awright0511

Ingredients

• 1 packet unflavored gelatin
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Preparation

Step 1

1. In a large mixer bowl, sprinkle gelatin over 1/3 cup cold water and let stand until softened, 5 min.

2. In a small, heavy saucepan, combine sugar and 1/4 cup water. Stir over medium-high heat until sugar dissolves; remove spoon. Brush insides of pan with a wet pastry brush to remove any sugar crystals and place a candy thermometer into mixture. Boil (do not stir) until syrup registers 235 degrees F (soft-ball stage), about 10 min. Pour into gelatin.

3. With the whisk attachment, beat mixture on high until soft peaks form, about 7 min. Add vanilla and use immediately. Makes 4 cups.
