Marshmallows

Make your own marshmallows with this recipe from ingredients from your food storage. Keep an eye on the mixer while beating because the marsheallow misture tends to "walk" up the beaters.

Prep time: 30 min.

• 3 envelopes of unflavored Knox gelatin
• 1/2 cup cold water
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 2/3 cups corn syrup
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 tbs vanilla extract
• confectioners' sugar for dredging and molding

1. In a bowl or a bowl of an electric mixer, sprinkle genalin over 1/2 cup cold water. Soak for 10 min.
2. Combine sugar, corn syrup, and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil hard for 1 min. Pour boiling syruip into gelatin and mix at high speed. Beat for 12 min. Add vanilla and incorporate into mixture. Scrape into a 9x9 pan dusted with powered sugar and spread evenly. After pouring in to bowl dust top with powder sugar. You can also put powdered sugar into a cake pan, spread evenly. Take a plastic egg that your kids have and press into powdered sugar to make molds. You then drop marshmallow mixture into molds.
3. Let misture sit until it has set up. Remove from pan, dredge the marshmallow with powder sugar and cut into 12 equal pieces with scissosrs.
4. You can melt dipping chocolate and spread over the top. These are very good. I think better than the ones that you buy at the store.
