I made marshmallows! Like real, fluffy, white marshmallows that taste just like marshmallows except my kids can eat them.
I'd had the recipe forever but hadn't attempted it because I just couldn't believe that it could possibly work. The only ingredients are gelatin and honey (plus a bit of salt and vanilla extract, but that's not really germane) and I know what gelatin and honey looks like: honey-flavored jello. Which is not, by any stretch of the imagination, a damn marshmallow.
But there's a process, and a technique, and... I'll be goddamned if it didn't work exactly right on the first try. Even Mr. Clod agreed, they look and taste just like a freaking marshmallow, and he is more than willing to tell me when something is, "Well... good enough for the kids, anyway." They can even be roasted if you do it quickly and carefully.
