Homemade Apple Cider Marshmallows

These delicious fall and wintertime marshmallows are made with homemade apple cider. They create a fluffy, sugary treat that perfectly embodies the cozy, comforting tastes of apple cider. Ideal for adding to your favorite hot beverages, snacking, or gift-giving.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups apple cider
• 3 packets unflavored gelatin about 21 grams
• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 1 cup light corn syrup
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions:

Transfer 1 cup of apple cider into a mixing bowl, then top with the gelatin

Give it ten minutes to bloom

The remaining cup of apple cider, granulated sugar, corn syrup, and salt should all be combined in a saucepan

Over medium-high heat, bring to a boil while stirring continuously

After it begins to boil, lower the heat to medium and cook it without stirring until the candy thermometer registers 240F, or the soft-ball stage

This ought to take ten to fifteen minutes

After taking the syrup off the stove, slowly pour it over the gelatin mixture

Given how hot it will be, exercise caution

Mix everything together

Beat the mixture for 10 to 12 minutes on high speed, using a hand mixer or a stand mixer with a whisk attachment, until it thickens, glossy, and almost triples in volume

In the final minute of mixing, add the vanilla extract

To keep it from sticking, grease a 9 by 13-inch baking pan and sprinkle it with powdered sugar

Using a spatula, level the top of the marshmallow mixture once it has been poured into the prepared pan

Add a little more powdered sugar on top

Let the marshmallows sit overnight or for at least four hours at room temperature

After the marshmallows have set, cut them into the appropriate sizes and shapes using a sharp knife or cookie cutters

To keep them from sticking, dust the cut edges with extra powdered sugar

Savor your homemade apple cider marshmallows with a warm cup of apple cider or as a sweet treat!
