3 envelopes of Knox gelatin

1/4 cup freeze dried strawberries chopped

2 cups granulated sugar

1/2 ice cold water (for gelatin)

1/4 cup water (to boil)

1 TBS orange or lemon extract

2/3 cups light corn syrup

1/4 cup powdered sugar

2 TBS corn starch

Directions:

1) In mixing bowl sprinkle gelatin over the 1/2 cup of cold water

2) in a saucepan add water, corn syrup, extract and sugar. When the sugar has dissolved bring the mixture to a rapid boil and let it go for 1 minute.

5) In a small bowl combine powdered sugar and corn starch ( you can add more crushed freeze dried strawberries as well) then spread the powder mixture onto a flat cutting board and flip the marshmallows onto that. Cut and coat in the powdered mixture.

6) Eat all the marshmallows
