Monin Toasted Marshmallow Syrup
Marshmallows are an ancient treat, first enjoyed by Egyptians about 4,000 years ago. In America, marshmallows have been consumed since the 1900s. At that time, the sweet was made with the sap of the marshmallow tree. Modern day marshmallows don't derive from the actual plant but have retained the name. Marshmallows are very popular and enjoyed year round: in the wintertime, atop steaming hot cocoas, and in the summertime, toasted over an open fire.

The use of marshmallow to make a candy dates back to ancient Egypt, where the recipe called for extracting sap from the plant and mixing it with nuts and honey. Another pre-modern recipe uses the pith of the marshmallow plant, rather than the sap. The stem was peeled back to reveal the soft and spongy pith, which was boiled in sugar syrup and dried to produce a soft, chewy confection. Candymakers in early 19th century France made the innovation of whipping up the marshmallow sap and sweetening it, to make a confection similar to modern marshmallow. The confection was made locally, however, by the owners of small candy stores. -wikipedia |
