INSTRUCTIONS
Place unflavored gelatin, cold water and salt in mixing bowl. Place sugar
and hot water in saucepan and bring to boil. Pour hot mixture over gelatin
and stir until gelatin has dissolved. Beat until thick and white (It will
increase greatly in volume. I use my Kitchen-Aid stand mixer and this part
can take anywhere from 10-15 minutes beating at 7 or higher - be patient -
it's worth it!)
Add coloring and mix until desired color is achieved. Pour into buttered
8x8 pan (or 13x9 if you want more, thinner marshamllows). Let stand until
set. Cut into squares with a hot knife and toss with toasted coconut. The
result is softer than commercially produced marshmallows, but oh-so-
yummy!!
I have added different types of flavorings with success such as strawberry
extract, coconut extract and mint extract. Add flavoring when you add the
coloring
