– You can do it as below, but instead of using 25g of gelatin, you need to use exactly 3.125g of Agar jelly powder to make sure the candy is frozen.

How to make marshmallows with fruit juice

Step 1Soak gelatin

Soak gelatin

Put the gelatin in a cup, pour in 70ml of water and stir until the gelatin dissolves in the water. If using leaf gelatin, cut it into small pieces so that the gelatin absorbs the water faster. Soak gelatin for 15-20 minutes until soft.

Step 2Cook juice

Cook juice

Pour 80ml of juice into a pot with 110g of sugar, boil over high heat and stir until the sugar dissolves.

Then, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10-15 minutes.

Check the gelatin, if the gelatin has softened, put it in the juice pot, add the gelatin soaked water to the pot.

Stir well until gelatin dissolves with juice and cook for another 2-3 minutes , then turn off the heat.

If using jelly powder, you need to cook for at least 5 minutes and stir well in one direction so that the jelly does not clump.

When the candy is still warm, pour the candy into the mold, when the candy has cooled, put it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours for the candy to solidify.

Step 3Cut candy

Cut candy

When the candy is completely frozen, remove the candy from the mold. Then, you dip the knife in hot water to prevent sticking when cutting the candy because the candy is very sticky at this point.

Cut the candy into small pieces and we have delicious marshmallows.

You can roll the candy through a layer of sugar , but remember to keep in mind that when rolling the candy, it must be dry or the sugar will clump. After that, leave the candy on the drying rack for the sugar to dry and stick to the candy (drying time takes 1-2 days).

Note: After rolling the candy across the street, you should dry it in a cool place, preferably in the refrigerator, where the high temperature will cause the sugar and candy to melt.
