I felt like the queen of the world when I made marshmallows the first time. It’s one of those memories I hide away in a pretty little box and pull out when I’m feeling down. You know, “Look what I did! I must be cool!” My nephew did, indeed, think that I’m magic, and still holds me in awe a bit, even though he’s now 17 and should know better.
Mine were pink and peppermint flavored. I considered using aspic cutters to make pretty shapes, but considering the amount of candy and other goodies churned out of the kitchen that week, it didn’t happen. Plus, I don’t have aspic cutters, so I would have had to go buy some.

Can you roast these and make them into s’mores?

Did you know?? Marshmallows came from the Marsh Mallow – looks like a holly hock. You can boil the roots and it makes a sticky substance that the “old-time Mom’s” would give their children when they had sore throats. You had to be careful because it could cause throat constrictions that would kill you…but the kids loved them because Mommy would add sugar to get them to eat it….so take out the roots and thus the marshmallow.
Or so I learned in a horticulture class. Glad the Bachelors comes in handy sometimes!

I have always wanted to do this but never have, so now I have no excuse. My kids will love it! Thanks!

Seriously. You would think you and I had some bizarre universal connection. I think it. You make it.

I silently conjure up the idea for homemade gelatin in my mind, then magically you’ve got it all sparkling and divine ready-made. And now…homemade marshmallows. WhooDog. I can’t wait until you make what I’ve been thinking up next…

You’re amazing!

I remember I made marshmallows in home ec in junior high. You’re right, you feel like magic. Although I don’t remember how I did it. I remember making egg shaped ones and pouring it into flour molds…that was a long time ago.
