Homemade Purple Marshmallows

My Mom and I are hosting  a bridal shower for my cousin on Sunday, and the theme is purple.  I have been wanting to try and make homemade marshmallows for awhile, and thought this was the perfect occasion.  I used Alton Brown’s recipe from Food Network, find it here.  It  worked out really well.

We started out with all the ingredients assembled.

It took awhile to get the sugar and corn syrup up to the right temperature.

We added it to the gelatin in the mixer and it was magic time!

After beating for a loooong time, it was time to add the food colouring.

We finally got it purple enough, after a whole little bottle of red and blue!

Then they had to sit overnight.  This morning I cut them up and tried one.  They are so creamy, much better than store bought.  Even though my daughter said “purple food is weird”, I think they turned out great and I’m really looking forward to the party tomorrow!

    I have been wanting to try homemade marshmallows for a while. Thanks for the great tutorial. As I love all things purple ( my blog is purple chocolat home) I think purple food is rad!

Instagram post 2195492363661344441_202589158 Yesterday I worked on creating this rustic Christmas tablescape. It turned out so well and every time I walked by, it had me looking forward to Christmas dinner.  The new plates are from Target... a Christmas present so I should be ok using them Christmas Day. ;) The napkins from @cuddlesomecotton are my new favourite and those thrifted vintage brass napkins ring -a reason to keep on thrifting!  Have you thought about your Christmas table yet?

Instagram post 2193321229457068731_202589158 Today on the blog and in stories I’m sharing some amazing charitable gift ideas like this one. Make a donation through @mccpeace to help plant cocao trees in a developing country and help change lives forever. We baked some of our Easy One Bowl Brownies and added this sweet gift tag that’s available for free download on the blog. Check it out along with three more fun charitable hostess gift ideas and free gift tags. Instead of more junk that no one really needs this Christmas how about giving something that can really make a difference long after the holidays are done.
