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.

FRUIT SALAD WITH MARSHMALLOWS
One year I was asked to bring a fruit salad to a family Christmas dinner. I found several fruit salad recipes, but none seemed really special for the holidays. I devised this recipe and everyone loved it. After that, I became the "official fruit salad person" for all family get-togethers.
