HOMEMADE COCONUT MARSHMALLOWS
This is my favorite time of year to make old-fashioned treats. And while there are so many wonderful traditional Christmas cookies, I like to make something no one is expecting: my homemade coconut marshmallows. Grocery-store marshmallows are fine for toasting s'mores, but once you've tasted a homemade marshmallow, you'll never go back to store-bought. And you won't believe how easy they are to make! All I do is put a mixture of gelatin and water in an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and slowly mix in sugar syrup and flavorings. Then I pour the mixture into a pan, let the marshmallows set on the counter overnight and cut them into squares in the morning. These, made with pure vanilla extract and toasted coconut, are my favorite; they're lighter than air and they just melt in your mouth. I'm thinking Santa might even be delighted to find these waiting when he comes down the chimney-unless the kids eat them first!

Steps:
- Combine the gelatin and 1/2 cup of cold water in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and allow to sit while you make the syrup.
- Combine the sugar, corn syrup, salt and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan and cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Raise the heat to high and cook until the syrup reaches 240 degrees F on a candy thermometer. Remove from the heat.
- With the mixer on low speed, slowly pour the sugar syrup into the dissolved gelatin. Turn the mixer to high and whip the mixture for about 15 minutes, until very thick. Add the vanilla and mix thoroughly.
- With a sieve, generously dust an 8-by-12-inch nonmetal baking dish with confectioners' sugar. Sprinkle half the coconut evenly in the pan, pour the marshmallow mixture into the pan, smooth the top and sprinkle the remaining coconut on top. Allow to stand uncovered at room temperature overnight, until it dries out.
- Turn the marshmallows onto a board and cut them in squares. Roll the sides in confectioners' sugar and store at room temperature.
- To toast coconut, place it in a very large dry saute pan and cook over low heat for 15 to 20 minutes, tossing frequently, until lightly browned.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle.
- Toast coconut in a shallow baking pan in oven, stirring occasionally, until golden, 7 to 10 minutes.
- Oil 9-inch baking pan, then sprinkle bottom with 1/2 cup toasted coconut.
- Sprinkle gelatin over 1/2 cup water in bowl of mixer and let soften while making syrup.
- Heat sugar, corn syrup, salt, and remaining 1/2 cup water in a small heavy saucepan over low heat, stirring until sugar has dissolved. Bring to a boil over medium heat, without stirring, washing any sugar crystals down side of pan with a pastry brush dipped in cold water. Put thermometer into syrup and continue boiling, without stirring, until it registers 240°F (soft-ball stage). Remove from heat and let stand until bubbles dissipate.
- With mixer at low speed, pour hot syrup into gelatin in a thin stream down side of bowl. Increase speed to high and beat until very thick, about 15 minutes. Add vanilla and coconut extracts and beat 1 minute more.
- Spoon marshmallow over toasted coconut in baking pan and press evenly with dampened fingertips to smooth top (it will be very sticky), then evenly sprinkle top with 1/2 cup toasted coconut.
- Let stand, uncovered, at room temperature until firm, about 2 hours.
- Run a sharp knife around edge of marshmallow and invert onto a cutting board. Cut into 3/4-inch-wide strips, then cut each strip into 3/4-inch squares.
- Put remaining toasted coconut in a small bowl and dredge marshmallows in it to coat completely.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees; toast coconut on a rimmed baking sheet, stirring occasionally, for 7 to 10 minutes or until light brown.
- Place cooled coconut on a rimmed baking sheet or in shallow bowls. Pipe shapes; cover each completely with coconut.
- To make nests, use a 1/2-inch (#11 Ateco) tip; pipe directly onto coconut, making a flat spiral about 3 inches in diameter. Build up the sides by spiraling up the edge of the disk, about 3/4 inch. Fill and cover with coconut, and allow to set a few minutes. Remove excess coconut from the center, and transfer to a parchment-lined airtight container until ready to use, or up to 2 weeks.
