We thought it would be fun to learn to make marshmallows. Then we thought it would be fun to make cool, fruity or hipster flavours of marshmallows. Then we thought … garlic marshmallows! With some product development, these might be the next big thing at the Garlic Festival!
We used a standard marshmallow recipe: 4 Tbsp. gelatin, 3/4 + 3/4 cups water, 2 cups sugar, 1 Tbsp. corn syrup, 2 egg whites, and we puréed four cloves of roasted garlic into the water that we dissolved the gelatin in.They’re … well, they’re marshmallows. They toast up beautifully. And they’re quite palatable and tasty, in the way that you might agree that garlic ice cream (ano
ther novelty item that’s been known to sell quite well around here on the 2nd weekend of September) is surprisingly yummy.
They may or may not make it to market for 2014, but they’ve been enjoyed here on a touch-of-fall evening, the night before Erin leaves for Montreal.
