Hey there, sweet tooths! Today, I’m stoked to share with you a super fun and delicious recipe for cherry marshmallows. And guess what? I’m a cherry supplier, so I’ve got all the inside scoop on using the best cherries for this treat. Cherry
Ingredients You’ll Need
First off, let’s talk about what you’ll need to make these cherry marshmallows. You’re gonna need some key ingredients, and I’ll tell you where you can get the best ones.
- Cherries: Of course, as a cherry supplier, I can’t stress enough how important it is to use high – quality cherries. You want fresh, juicy cherries that are plump and full of flavor. You can use either sweet or tart cherries, depending on your taste preference.
- Sugar: Granulated sugar is the base for making the marshmallow. It gives that sweet, sticky goodness.
- Corn Syrup: This helps prevent the sugar from crystallizing and gives the marshmallows a nice, smooth texture.
- Gelatin: Gelatin is what gives the marshmallows their structure. You can use either powdered or sheet gelatin.
- Cherry Juice: You can use freshly squeezed cherry juice, or if you’re short on time, you can use store – bought cherry juice. Just make sure it’s 100% pure cherry juice without any added sugars or artificial flavors.
- Vanilla Extract: A little bit of vanilla extract adds a lovely aroma and flavor to the marshmallows.
- Powdered Sugar: You’ll need this to dust the marshmallows and prevent them from sticking together.
Step – by – Step Process
Step 1: Prepare the Gelatin
Start by sprinkling the gelatin over 1/4 cup of cold water in a small bowl. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to soften. While the gelatin is softening, you can start prepping the other ingredients.
Step 2: Make the Cherry Syrup
In a medium – sized saucepan, combine 1 cup of sugar, 1/4 cup of corn syrup, and 1/2 cup of cherry juice. Stir the mixture over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved. Then, bring the mixture to a boil. Once it starts boiling, let it cook for about 5 – 7 minutes, or until the temperature reaches 240°F (115°C) on a candy thermometer. This is called the soft – ball stage.
Step 3: Combine the Gelatin and Cherry Syrup
Once the cherry syrup reaches the soft – ball stage, remove it from the heat. Take the softened gelatin and add it to the hot cherry syrup. Stir it well until the gelatin is completely dissolved. You can use a whisk to make sure there are no lumps.
Step 4: Add Vanilla Extract
Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the cherry – gelatin mixture. Stir it in well to incorporate the flavor.
Step 5: Whip the Mixture
Pour the cherry – gelatin mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Start mixing on low speed, and then gradually increase the speed to high. Whip the mixture for about 10 – 15 minutes, or until it becomes light, fluffy, and triples in volume.
Step 6: Pour into a Pan
While the mixture is whipping, prepare a 9×13 – inch baking pan. Line the pan with parchment paper and dust it with powdered sugar. Once the marshmallow mixture is whipped to the right consistency, pour it into the prepared pan. Use a spatula to spread the mixture evenly across the pan.
Step 7: Let It Set
Let the marshmallows sit at room temperature for at least 4 hours, or until they are completely set. You can also refrigerate them for a faster set, but make sure to let them come to room temperature before cutting.
Step 8: Cut and Dust
Once the marshmallows are set, use a sharp knife to cut them into squares. Dust the cut marshmallows with powdered sugar to prevent them from sticking together.
Tips and Tricks
- Use a Candy Thermometer: This is super important for getting the right consistency of the marshmallows. If the cherry syrup doesn’t reach the soft – ball stage, the marshmallows won’t set properly.
- Be Patient When Whipping: Whipping the marshmallow mixture takes time. Don’t rush it, and make sure it reaches the right volume and texture.
- Store Properly: Store the cherry marshmallows in an airtight container at room temperature. They’ll stay fresh for about a week.
