I found this delicious sounding recipe for pumpkin spice marshmallows. It was very easy, used one bowl full of pumpkin, cold water, and gelatin, and a pot full of water, sugar, and cornsyrup heated to firm ball stage and then everything was beaten together until thick and fluffy and left in a pan to set.
The problems I have are these. For one thing, the marshmallows seem very moist. Even after dusting them with cornstarch and powdered sugar, it seemed like the powder just sucked up moisture and kinda melted onto the marshmallows making them moist and sticky. The other thing is that that don't "toast". I couldn't WAIT to try a toasted pumpkin marshmallow, but when I put them on my cookies under the broiler they just melted... They didn't change color at all, or get crispy, just lost shape, turning liquidy.
Did I make REAL marshmallows or were these some kind of "mock apple pie" type cheat marshmallows? If this is really how they are made, why are mine behaving so strangely?
P.S. If anyone has a recipe for marshmallows that toast, I would love to have it.
