Healthy Marshmallow

Post by Ron Podhajsky » Thu Apr 28, 2016 12:00 pm

I am a new beekeeper and my first package of bees are coming this weekend. My wife and I looked for a suitable marshmallow to plug the queen's cage. All the commercially available marshmallows had ingredients that we were not happy with. So we made our own healthy marshmallows in the kitchen.

Ingredients:
2 tablespoons of gelatin powder
1/2 cup of water
1/2 teaspoon of vanillia
1/2 cup of honey

Mix together 1/4 cup of water and gelatin. Whisk and let sit.
Mix the other 1/4 cup of water with honey and bring mixture to a boil.
Slowly pour honey/water into gelatin/water while mixing at medium speed.
Then mix at high speed for 10-15 minutes.
Add vanillia during last 2 minutes of mixing.
Pour into container lined with parchment paper.
Let sit overnight.

Tastes great! Don't forget to leave some for the queen!

Ron
