How to Make Spiced Marshmallows
- In a heavy-bottomed, non-corrosive 2-quart saucepan, combine 2 cups granulated sugar, 1 cup light corn syrup, and ¾ cup water.
- Cook over medium heat, using a candy thermometer, until the mixture reaches 260°F (127°C).
- In a separate bowl, bloom 2 packets (4 teaspoons) of powdered gelatin in ¾ cup cold water for 5 minutes.
- Gently whisk the bloomed gelatin into the hot sugar mixture.
- Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat 4 large egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff, glossy peaks form.
- Gradually pour the cooled gelatin mixture into the beaten egg whites, while mixing on low speed.
- Add 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, and ¼ teaspoon ground cloves (or your preferred spice blend).
- Beat on medium-high speed until the mixture is cool and thick, about 12 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, sift together 2 cups powdered sugar and 1 cup cornstarch.
- Lightly dust a 17 x 11 inch baking sheet with about ¼ cup of the powdered sugar/cornstarch mixture.
- Pour the marshmallow mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread evenly with a pastry spatula.
- Let stand for about 1 hour, or until set.
- Using kitchen shears, cut the marshmallow mixture into 48 squares or other desired shapes.
- Toss the cut marshmallows in the remaining powdered sugar/cornstarch mixture to coat evenly.
- Store the marshmallows in an airtight container at room temperature until ready to use.
