Marshmallow - Strawberry

By JimnShel1

Ingredients

• 1- 3oz package jello (I used strawberry)
• 2 - envelopes unflavored gelatin
• 1/2 C. Cold water
• 1 2/3 C. Sugar
• 2/3 C. light corn syrup
• 1/4 C. water
• 1/4 t. salt
• 1 T. Vanilla extract
• Powdered Sugar

Preparation

Step 1

Line a pan with wax paper and spray with non-stick spray (I used an 8×11.5 pan but they were too tall, I had to cut the marshmallow hearts in half. Next time I think I will use a 9×13)

In bowl of an electric mixer, sprinkle gelatin and jello over 1/2 C. cold water. Let soften for about 10 min.

Meanwhile, combine sugar, corn syrup and 1/4 C. water in a small saucepan, bring mixture to a rapid boil and let it boil for 1 min. Pour syrup mixture onto gelatin and jello mixture. Using the whisk attachment, beat on high speed. Add salt and beat for 12 min. After 12 mins., add vanilla and beat to incorporate.

Spray a rubber spatula with non-stick spray and pour into prepared pan using the rubber spatula. Gently press some plastic wrap, sprayed with non-stick spray onto the top of the marshmallows to create a seal. Let mixture sit several hours or over night until cooled and set.

Lightly dust counter with powdered sugar and dump the marshmallows out. Cut into pieces and dredge in powdered sugar. I have found that scissors work the best for cutting the marshmallows, if you just want to make square marshmallows or dip a cookie cutter in powdered sugar and cut into shapes. You may have to wash the cookie cutter every so often, when it gets too sticky. Store in an airtight container.
