How to Make Spiced Marshmallows

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