Delicious Marshmallows Require Only a Moderate Amount of Care In Their Preparation and Serving. If you wish pure, delicious marshmallows, soak two tablespoonfuls granulated gelatin In ten tablespoonfuls of cold water until soft. Pour ten tablespoonfuls of boiling water over two cupfuls of sugar, and boll until it makes a sirup which will form a thread when dropped from the spoon. Remove the sirup from the fire and stir into it the softened gelatin. Let stand until cool, then add salt and flavoring and beat until it becomes stiff enough to hold its own shape. Pour the candy into granite pans dusted with powdered sugar and let stand in a cool place until set. Cut in cubes and roll in powdered sugar. Chocolate marshmallows are made either by coating the plain marshmallows with melted, unsweetened chocolate.or adding melted chocolate to the marshmallow mixture before cooking. Chopped nuts or candied fruits may be stirred into the mixture after it has been removed from the fire. Instead of vanilla flavoring, fruit juice may be used in place of part of the water. Marshmallows are dainty and attractive if rolled with grated cocoanut before being coated with sugar.
