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
