Marshmallows


Serves 10

• 1 cup hot water (not boiling)
• 1 cup maple syrup
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 split vanilla bean or flavour with peppermint, lemon or orange extracts

  2. In a large saucepan, place the other half of water, honey or maple syrup, and salt.

  4. Remove from heat and start your mixer with the gelatin in the bowl on low, beginning to break it up. Carefully start to pour the hot syrup into the gelatin slowly while the mixer is still moving on slow.
  5. Start to turn the mixer up until all the hot syrup is added and the mixer is on the highest setting.
  6. Add your flavouring and mix for 10 minutes until it looks fluffy. Transfer the marshmallow to a lined tin.
  7. Set in the fridge for 6 hours or overnight. They will keep for a week in the fridge.
