Marshmallow from jam

Cookinero 8 May 2025

The tart fruity taste of marshmallows from jam perfectly compensates for the vanilla sweetness of the dessert. Only at home from homemade jam can such a delicacy be obtained. Moreover, having prepared marshmallows at home, you can give it an individual look and taste, for example, by replacing vanilla with mint extract or adding a little caramel sauce. The time in the kitchen will be a little more than half an hour, but the dessert will need to harden for 6-8 hours.

Marshmallow from jam - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, agar-agar is a great vegetarian substitute for gelatin. Use the same amount as gelatin but dissolve it in boiling water and adjust the syrup step since agar-agar sets faster. Follow package instructions for best results.
Store marshmallows in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Keep them away from humidity to prevent sticking. For longer storage, freeze them in layers separated by parchment paper for up to 3 months.
Yes, light corn syrup or maple syrup can replace honey in equal amounts, though the flavor will differ slightly. Corn syrup yields a neutral taste, while maple syrup adds a rich, distinctive flavor.
Reduce sugar by substituting half with a sugar-free sweetener like erythritol, but note that texture may be less firm. Ensure the sweetener can handle high heat, as the syrup requires boiling.
Dust a sharp knife or cookie cutter with powdered sugar or cornstarch to prevent sticking. For smooth cuts, wipe the blade clean between slices.
Absolutely! Add a few drops of food coloring or flavor extracts (e.g., almond, peppermint) when mixing in the vanilla. Gel colors work best to avoid thinning the mixture.
This can happen if the syrup wasn’t heated enough or the mixture wasn’t beaten long enough. Ensure the syrup reaches a boil and beat until very thick (full 12 minutes) for the right texture.
Yes, but the coating prevents sticking. Alternatives include rolling marshmallows in cocoa powder, coconut flakes, or a mix of cornstarch and powdered sugar.
