It takes about 45 min to make your first batch of marshmallows, and less time as you become familiar with the process. Marshmallow making is broken down into these parts: Marshmallow Syrup: A homemade invert sugar syrup that helps control crystallization. The Base: This is the combination of Marshmallow Syrup,cane sugar,water, and occasionally, other ingredients cooked to a specific temperature. The Bloom: Before granulated gelatin can be used in a recipe, it must first be softened,or "bloomed", in a cold liquid so that the crystals are separated and don't form lumps. Flavoring ingredients might be added to the bloom in some recipes. Additional flavoring: Certain flavorings can't be included in the cooked base or in the bloom, so they're added in at another time in the recipe and are listed separately in the ingredients list. The Marshmallow batter: This refers to the base and bloom mixture that is poured into the bowl,beaten,and then spread into a pan,molded,or piped into shapes.(Source: Marshmallows-Eileen Talanian)
