White Fluff, Part I

Tonight I crossed another treat off my Christmas list. For the first time ever, I made homemade marshmallows.

Let’s just say messy, sticky, gooey.

The recipe only had a few ingredients. I did not have to stand over the heavy pot and stir until the contents reached the soft ball stage. It did take time but hopefully, the end results - taste test tomorrow - will be worth it.

Below are some pictures from part one as they have to sit, covered, for six hours or overnight. I chose the overnight option. Tomorrow, I’ll cut them into white chunks of fluff and the kids can roll them in colored sugars.

For 15 minutes my mixer ran on high to beat the mixture until it doubled in capacity.



Creamy, sticky fluff.

Spread in the pan and ready to set.


I did say sticky, didn't I? Let's say clean up went well when I used boiling water to wash everything.
