Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 tablespoons unflavored gelatin
  • 1 cup fresh cranberries
  • 1 tablespoon pure rosewater
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare a square baking pan by greasing it with non-stick spray and dusting with powdered sugar.
  2. In a saucepan, cook cranberries with a splash of water over medium heat until they burst (approx. 10 minutes). Blend to a smooth puree, then strain.
  3. Bloom gelatin in cold water for about 5 minutes.
  4. Combine granulated sugar, corn syrup, and salt in another saucepan; cook until the mixture reaches 240°F (115°C).
  5. Gradually whisk the hot syrup into the bloomed gelatin, then mix in cranberry puree and rosewater until combined.
  6. Whip the mixture with an electric mixer on high speed for about 10 minutes until thick and fluffy.
  7. Pour into prepared pan, smooth the top, cover with plastic wrap, and let set at room temperature for at least four hours or overnight.
  8. Once set, dust your work surface with powdered sugar, turn out the marshmallow slab, and cut into squares.
