Ingredients:

Hand Crafted Marshmallows

  • Cooking spray
  • 1 cup water, divided into two 1/2 cup portions
  • 3 tablespoons unflavored gelatin
  • 1 cup local honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla, may substitute with 1/2 teaspoon of other extracts like strawberry or lemon
  • 1-2 drops food coloring, optional
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Directions:

  1. Generously coat an 8×8-inch pan with cooking spray and line with one sheet of parchment paper vertically and one sheet horizontally, leaving a 1-2-inch overhang on each side.
  2. Spray parchment paper with cooking spray; set aside.
  3. In the bowl of a stand-up mixer, add 1/2 cup of water.
  4. Sprinkle gelatin over water and let soften.
  5. Meanwhile, in a saucepan, add remaining water, honey, and salt.
  6. Over medium-high heat, bring mixture to a boil.
  7. Cook until mixture reaches 240°F on your candy or digital thermometer, stirring frequently, about 7-9 minutes.
  8. Mixture should begin to form a soft ball in the center of the saucepan as you stir.
  9. Remove from heat.
  10. Set your standing mixer to low/medium speed and slowly pour the honey mixture into the softened gelatin; mix to combine using the whisk attachment.
  11. Increase to high speed and continue whipping until you have a thick white marshmallow creme (about 10 minutes).
  12. Add flavoring and optional coloring and continue mixing for an additional 30-60 seconds.
  13. Transfer creme to prepared pan.
  14. Smooth out top and let set for at least 4-6 hours uncovered.
  15. Once set, sift powdered sugar onto a cutting surface and sift some into a small bowl for dredging.
  16. Unmold marshmallows and cut into pieces.
  17. Dip marshmallow pieces into bowl of sifted sugar.

Makes 16 2x2-inch marshmallows.
