Make amazing corn syrup free marshmallows for the perfect end of summer s’mores….

August 19, 2013 By Jennifer

Our problem is one of the kiddos is allergic to corn and it’s derivatives and it makes shopping for some treats super-challenging. So, I have this recipe for corn syrup free marshmallows that taste amazing!

In the past, we’ve found some at the the health food store made from fish gelatin,but there was something about it that always kind of grossed me out!One of  our annual traditions on the weekend before school  starts is we have a bonfire and make s’mores in our backyard. It’s a nice tradition that I think really helps usher in the new academic year.

So in all of my searching, I finally found  a recipe for home-made corn-free marshmallows and tweaked it to fit what we like. I thought I would share them here with you!

My mouth is watering already. I do want to mention before we start that since we are working with molten hot sugar to take extra precautions when cooking. Just take that extra safety step when making them!

 I did end up tweaking the recipe a bit after the first batch. I used organic/corn-free ingredients, but you could by all means not go that way,do totally regular ingredients and they would still turn out fab.

 Homemade Corn syrup-free Marshmallows 
2 1/2 Tablespoons gelatin
8 Tablespoons cold water
2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup cold water
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp vanilla extract (or flavored extract such as rose or orange for flavored marshmallows)
1 cup powdered sugar for dusting
electric mixer
heavy duty glass bowl
heavy sauce pan
Yummy homemade marshmallows with ut any corn products!
First:
-Dust a 9 inch square pan with powdered sugar and set aside
-In a small bowl,add the gelatin to 8 TBSP cold water set aside
****
Then:
-In  a large heavy sauce pan, combine the 2 C. granulated sugar and 1/2 cup water, cook over medium heat stirring constantly with a wooden spoon.
-Once the sugar is dissolved, add the gelatin and stir in.
-Bring to a rolling boil and let boil for one minute
-Immediately turn off heat and let sit atleast 5-10 minutes,It will be flaming hot sugar and gelatin which can cause really bad burns, so take proper precautions  and let it cool until warm. Use a candy thermometer to make sure it’s not too hot to handle. Once only warm,carefully pour into  a large heavy glass mixing bowl and add salt and vanilla extract
-Let the mixture cool for about 10 minutes 
-Beat with an electric mixer until it is soft and doubled in volume, about 10-15 minutes
-Pour into prepared pan and let sit until cool and firm. Let is cool lightly covered about 10 minutes.Then  put it into the fridge.

 Once they are cool,they will be firm but sticky.
Smores with homemade marshmallows
Dust a very sharp knife into powdered sugar or arrowroot powder and cut the marshmallows into large squares or s’more squares.
Dust each one on all sides to take away the stickiness, store in fridge.

They are super yummy, and were a huge success! But I will tell you that they melt/burn A LOT faster when making s’mores, so watch them carefully. We lost the first few to a fiery death.
 I am just learning myself, but I can’t wait to make more! If you have a sweet tooth, you can also try this iced coffee drink, or this recipe for a teacup dessert.

    This is the recipe we use and I must say I LOVE it! We have started adding new flavors and are about to try out a new combination… using some syrups we picked up at Ikea that contain no corn syrup. 🙂 wish us luck!

    My daughters allergic to corn too. I haven’t been able to find powdered sugar without corn starch – even in organic. Have you? Also, there’s a new brand, Dandies, that’s vegan and corn free! 🙂

      I have. It’s at whole foods, it’s their brand and it has tapioca starch instead.

      We make our own. Just take regular sugar and blend it into a fine powder. We use a bullet blender, but I’m sure any would work.

      I found it at my local King Soopers (Kroger chain of stores). But its only been around for a short time!!
      I tried to do the blender with regular sugar and added cream of tartar, but it was still gritty.

    You can make your own confectioner’s sugar from white or organic sugar. Put 1 cup sugar in your blender and blend at high speed for about 45 – 60 seconds. Don’t try to make more than that at a time! We use a Vita-Mix and even that works best with no more than 1 cup sugar.

    Yes, my daughter is allergic to corn. We use Wholefood’s 360 brand confectioner’s sugar. I keep about 4 bags on hand at all times! After making my own, this is much more convenient: ) Trying these marshmallows tonight, thanks!

    Did anyone else have trouble cutting them? Getting them out of the pan? Mime were sticky as sticky could be and the shape was not quite right. They tasted great, but seem very difficult to cut and remove…?
