Tuesdays With Dorie REWIND – Marshmallows
food January 28th, 2010
I have been so excited to try this recipe. Rachel’s sister made homemade marshmallows for her daughters’ baptism and they were amazing.
Mine…
Terribly disappointed. The gelatin and sugary-meringue mix became separate, leaving me with a super-sticky white layer and a firm, Jell-O-ish layer of sewage-brown nothingness. They taste fine, but definitely nothing I could share (which was the intention of this Thursday night experiment). Probably because I didn’t have a candy thermometer so I eyeballed it, but…damn.
Will try another recipe some day. Until then…tears.

Aawww
Poor marshmallows. Sorry this recipe didn’t do it for you. I seem to remember from the P&Q: Marshmallows that TWDers were kinda split on it too. So you’re in good company, eh? What recipe did Rachel’s sister use? And don’t be a cheap a$$! Get yourself a candy thermometer. HA HA
