Guest guest Posted January 9, 2003 Report Share Posted January 9, 2003 Veggie Marshmallows Ingredients: 3 T. veg. kosher gelatin, (not a non-animal product) (note Instead of gelatin, use: 3 T. agar-agar **below ) 1/2 c. cold water 2 c. sugar 3/4 c. corn syrup 1/2 c. water 1/4 t. salt 2 T. vanilla powdered sugar Directions: Mix together and let stand for 1 hour the agar-agar and 1/2 cup water. After about 1/2 hour, start to prepare syrup. Place in heavy pan over low heat and stir until dissolved the sugar, corn syrup, 1/2 c. water and salt. When the mixture starts to boil, cover and cook for about 3 minutes. Uncover, and continue to cook without stirring, over high heat, until a candy thermometer reaches 240-244 F. Remove from heat and pour slowly over the gelled mixture, beating constantly. After all the syrup is added, continue to beat for about 15 minutes. When the mixture is thick but still warm add the vanilla. Put the mixture into an 8 " x12 " pan that has been lightly dusted with cornstarch. When it has dried for 12 hours, remove it from the pan, and cut it into squares with cornstarch. Dust each piece generously with powdered sugar. Store the well-powdered pieces in a closed tin. *Admin Note: Please s above to read for yourself the information written about " kosher " gelatin and agar-agar.
