So I decided to try making my own marshmallows for this camping trip, since I don’t really like store-bought marshmallows, but I love the whole s’mores ritual. I did some online research, and read some cooks’ reviews, and finally found a recipe I decided to try my hand at. It turned out brilliantly! Rather than re-print the recipe (which I don’t think I can do anyways) I will just refer you to the Smitten Kitchen’s marshmallow post. Her writing and pictures are almost too perfect to even try and replicate, just check it out, it is a lovely blog. (And like she mentions, these are probably the messiest things ever, it is like making tar…tar that is tempting you with its sugary aroma to lick the beater, to stick your fingr in the bowl for just a taste…needless to say, marshmallow is difficult to get out of hair.)
Here is how I made my yummy and melt-in-your-mouth sweet and sticky marshmallows. And here is a question for you – how would you describe a marshmallow to an alien without sounding like you were talking dirty?!
