One day Alan had the idea of making our own marshmallows. Since we had nothing else to do that day I said I would help. We found a recipe online and began to collect all the needed ingredients:
corn syrup
vanilla
gelatin packets
water
sugar
Our neighbors would laugh at the word "collect" since that often means we come over begging. Once we had found what we needed we began mixing it all together. First we mixed the gelatin with the water. It made these interesting crystals as it sat there.
Then we heated the sugar, corn syrup and vanilla to like 240 degrees. We had to borrow the candy timer as well....thanks Ellis family! :) (Don't worry folks, they got to taste the final product!)
We mixed all that together and put it in a greased pan to cool. Since we didn't have enough gelatin packets it turned out sticker than it should have been but they tasted good! It was almost like marshmallow fluff! Everyone who tasted them said they were denser but still very good. I do believe my nieces and nephew would have eaten the whole pan if I would have let them!
Pretty simple process actually. Hats off to your creativity Alan!
