Instructions

Bloom the unflavored gelatin in a small bowl with 1/2 cup of water.
In a large saucepan, combine granulated sugar, light corn syrup, remaining 1/2 cup of water, and salt. Heat over medium until it reaches 240°F.
Stir in the strawberry jello until well mixed in the saucepan.
Add the bloomed gelatin to a stand mixer bowl, then gradually pour in the hot sugar mixture to dissolve the gelatin.
Whisk the mixture on high speed for 8 to 10 minutes until it becomes fluffy and stiff.
Prepare an 8×8 inch square pan by lightly spraying it with nonstick baking spray.
In another bowl, mix powdered sugar and cornstarch, setting some aside to dust later.
Dust the prepared pan with the sugar and cornstarch mixture.
In the last minute of mixing, add strawberry extract and food coloring, continuing to beat until blended.
Pour the marshmallow mixture into the prepared pan.
For added visuals, add 1-2 drops of food coloring and swirl it with a skewer if desired.
Dust the top with the reserved sugar/cornstarch mixture to cover the marshmallows.
Allow the marshmallows to firm up for at least 4 hours; overnight is recommended.
Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the marshmallows into 12 pieces, dusting the knife if it gets sticky.
Toss the pieces in extra powdered sugar to prevent stickiness.

Notes

Ensure to allow marshmallows to rest overnight for best texture.
Storing marshmallows in an airtight container can maintain freshness for a longer period.
Optional: Experiment with different flavors of jello for unique marshmallow varieties.
