for those interested,

Martha Stewart made marshmallows by hand on her show last week (as
if!). The recipe and instructions might still be on her web site.
It was overly cute. SHe had a little boy helping her, who wanted to dye
them green. :)


But, wouldn't ITC on marshmallows prevent them from getting gooey, ITC
being refractory and all?

Marshmallows used to be made from Marsh Mallows; they
exuded a sticky syrupy stuff that was used to make
marshmallow. The plant was - ahem - a marsh plant,
grew in Louisiana and no doubt other places.
Now, mostly sugar and gelatin, I think.

Now see, I KNEW there was a reason that I used to think marshmallows
grew on trees. :)

Jet-Puffed's official marshmallow website says this about the history of the
marshmallow:
"As one of the world's oldest confections, marshmallows date back to ancient
Egypt (2000 BC). Some historians claim marshmallows got their name when
pharaohs discovered that by squeezing the mallow plant (grown wild in
marshes), a sweet, sticky substance surfaced that could be made into a
confection. The delicacy was so special, it was reserved for royalty only.

In 1948, Alex Doumak, a marshmallow manufacturer, began experimenting with
different methods of marshmallow making. Doumak was looking for ways to speed
up production and discovered the 'extrusion process', which revolutionized
marshmallow production. Now marshmallows could be made by piping the fluffy
mixture through long tubes and cutting its tubular shape into equal pieces."
