I was flipping through the most recent issue of Better Homes & Gardens, and I came upon an image of a glass jar full of marshmallows. Yes! I need exactly that kind of jar in my kitchen, too.
Since I was pregnant last year at this time and limiting my refined sugar intake, I didn't drink a single cup of hot chocolate. This year is going to be different!
Two years ago, I made these marshmallows from scratch, but I vowed never to use gelatin again. I'm a vegetarian and shouldn't be using gelatin in the first place, but the smell of plain gelatin plus water was exactly the reminder I needed. Ick!
So, back to my trusty friend, The Internet, for more advice. This time, I'm going to use this vegetarian recipe.

Gelatin seems to sneak (unnecessarily) into so much stuff!
ReplyDeleteWould love to hear the about your results with making the vegetarian marshmallows! Since Agar agar & corn syrup are not things usually found in my pantry, I hesitate to go out and buy them if the end-product doesn't turn out wonderfully!
ReplyDeleteHi! I know this is a really old post but it's circulating on Pinterest so I thought I'd let you know - the link to the recipe doesn't go to a recipe it goes to some woman's business blog -http://wphomes.soic.indiana.edu/connelly/
ReplyDeleteI would love to see the recipe!
thx
