Homemade marshmallow recipe?

Has anybody here made your own marshmallows? It seems like an awesome endeavor.

Anybody have a recipe or general advice?

    I tried a basic recipe I found online, and instead of corn syrup used mostly golden syrup (Lyles) and a little homemade ginger syrup. They were insane.

    It really helps to have a stand mixer so your arm doesn't fall off or the motor on your hand mixer doesn't go out.

    Be careful with your gelatin and make sure you don't have any lumps.

    Make sure your thermometer is calibrated before getting too far into the process and worrying about messing up your sugars.

    Powdered sugar and parchment paper will be your very best friends.

    And they really do toast and melt like you'd expect. I brought mine to a friends birthday party and people were roasting them on the gas range. Not sure if that was the smartest thing, but they were delicious.

    I tried and failed miserably because I didn't realize just how fast the sugar can go from liquid to solid so when I casually went back to the pot to check on the temp it was way past "hard" on my candy thermometer! I ended up with Rock Candy.
