Here is how I make marshmallows.
It takes:
3 Packages or Tbsp unflavored gelatin
1 cup ice cold water
1 1/2 cup white sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/4 tsp cornstarch
Nonstick spray
To create the marshmallows:
1. Place the gelatin in your mixer bowl along with 1/2 of the ice water.
2. In a small sauce pan combine the remaining 1/2 cup of water, the white sugar and the corn syrup and whisk together. Cover and place on medium/high heat and allow to cook like that for 3-4 minutes. Uncover and stir until syrup boils at a full rolling boil, approximately 8 minutes. Remove from heat .
3. Turn the mixer on low speed and stir the gelatin, slowly add the sugar syrup into the gelatin mixing constantly until thoroughly blended. Once all of it has been added turn the mixer to high speed and allow to mix for about 15 minutes. Until it is lukewarm and very thick. Add the vanilla during this last minute of whipping. (It will be okay if you forget the vanilla, I know because I did this last time, but it is better having it in.)
4. While the mixture is whipping prepare a 9x13 pan by spraying it thoroughly with a non stick spray.
5.Mix the powdered sugar and the cornstarch together and sprinkle across the greased pan. (save any extra powder as you will need it later)
6. When the mix is lukewarm immediately pour it into prepared pan. Spread evenly with a greased spatula. Sprinkle the top with more powder.
7. Allow the marshmallows to sit uncovered for at least 4 hours, or overnight even.
8. Turn the marshmallows out onto a cutting board and cut into 1 inch squares with a greased pizza cutter dusted with powder mix. Once cut, dust all sides of each marshmallow with the remaining powder mix.Store in an airtight container for up to three weeks.
These take about 35 minutes of prep time and 4+hours of waiting time.

This is where I found this recipe.

Keren is really wanting to make marshmallows now.....but not today....she is in bed sick with slight fever, sore throat and body aches and pains......And Luke went off to work loaded with meds to make him feel better.....Thankfully Dad and I feel good......The marshmallows sound yummy....sort of (: but not worth the work!(:
They really aren't that bad, since most of the time they are sitting waiting to set. We figured it out cost wise and I am not wasteing money making them anyways.
So sorry they are sick. Does it seem to be the same thing Abb's had last week? ~♥~
Their sickness seems to be more respitory, not stomach.
