Raspberry Marshmallows Without Corn Syrup

Soft homemade Raspberry Marshmallows stacked on a plate with fresh raspberries

Raspberry Marshmallows turn into soft, berry-bright squares with real raspberries, gelatin, and honey or maple syrup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup frozen raspberries
  • 1/2 cup freeze-dried raspberries
  • 1/4 cup grass-fed gelatin
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 cup honey or maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Prepare a 9×9 pan with parchment paper, or use a silicone pan. Lightly coat the surface with spray oil so the marshmallows release easily.
  2. Add 1/2 cup water, frozen raspberries, and freeze-dried raspberries to a blender. Blend until smooth, then strain the mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer to remove the seeds.
  3. Stir the vanilla extract and grass-fed gelatin into the raspberry puree. Let the mixture rest while you cook the syrup.
  4. Combine the remaining 1/2 cup water with the honey or maple syrup in a small saucepan. Bring it to a steady boil and cook for about 10 minutes, or until it reaches 220-240F on a candy thermometer.
  5. Take the saucepan off the heat. Fit the stand mixer with the whisk attachment and turn it to low, then slowly stream in the hot syrup.
  6. Increase the mixer to high and whip for 2-3 minutes, until the mixture triples in volume, looks thick and fluffy, and still pours from the bowl.
  7. Spread the marshmallow mixture into the prepared pan. Smooth the top with a spatula or lightly damp hands.
  8. Cover the pan and leave it at room temperature for 30-60 minutes, until the marshmallows feel firm enough to cut.
  9. Slice into 26 pieces, using scissors for the cleanest and easiest cuts.

Notes

  • Stop whipping once the mixture has tripled in size and holds firm peaks on the whisk while still being spreadable.
  • Scissors make cutting easier because the finished marshmallows are soft and springy.
  • Without a candy thermometer, keep the syrup at a strong boil for at least 10 minutes to help it reach the right stage.
