VEGETARIAN MARSHMALLOW RECIPE

what do you think of this recipe?

I got this from http://sandramort.livejournal.com

<http://sandramort.livejournal.com>

Ihavent tried it as when I seen the post in the group for a marshmallow

recipe I instantly did a search.. I hope that you dont mind me sending

something I havent done. INGREDIENTS:

* 3 cups white sugar * 1/4 cup corn syrup * 1/4 teaspoon salt

* 3/4 cup water * 2 teaspoons vanilla extract * 1 cup

confectioners' sugar for dusting

DIRECTIONS:

1. Generously coat a 9x13 dish with cooking spray. 2. In a large

saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup, salt and water. Heat to between 234

and 240 degrees F (112 to 116 degrees C), or until a small amount of

syrup dropped into cold water forms a soft ball that flattens when

removed from the water and placed on a flat surface. Remove from heat

and beat with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form, 10 to 12

minutes. Stir in vanilla. Pour into prepared pan. 3. Chill in

refrigerator 8 hours or overnight. To cut, loosen edges with a knife.

Dust surface with confectioners' sugar, and turn out onto a waxed paper

lined surface. Dust with confectioners' sugar again and cut with a

knife.
