Marshmallows

Ingredients:

• 50 g Gelatin (I used the Knorr brand – the Davis Brand was recommended)

• 700 g sugar (finely granulated)

• 12 oz. water

• 1 tsp vanilla essence

• Lime juice (1/2 to 1 lime based on taste preference)

• 1 tsp cornstarch (extra for rolling)

• Food colors (optional)

Preparation:

• Soak gelatin in 4 oz. of water.

• Mix sugar with the rest of the water (8 oz). Stir on full flame.

• When it boils add gelatin mixture and stir immediately to avoid it burning.

• Add lime juice mixed with cornflour. Allow to boil for 3 minutes.

• Remove from flame. Let it cool for a just a little time.

• Optional: Separate into two or more parts and add a different color to each as desired.

• Beat each part with electric beater (mixer) until fluffy and the color changes to a pastel shade.

• Pour the first part into a greased tray dusted with cornstarch.

• Beat the second part as before and layer over the first part on tray.

• Repeat if more than two layers are desired.

• Cool the tray in the fridge for about two hours.

• Cut into desired shapes with a sharp knife. Wipe the knife with a damp cloth every time/ as needed while cutting.
