History of Marshmallow Fluff
Marshmellow paste has been around for a long time. People used to make it by mixing marshmallows with other ingredients. The first time marshmallow cream was mentioned in an American cookbook was in 1896.
But the author of that book didn’t give a recipe for it.
1902
In 1902, another cookbook talked about how to make marshmallow cream.
Early 1900s
In the early 1900s, Somerville, Massachusetts resident, and inventor Archibald Query started selling his version of marshmallow cream door-to-door. A few years later, he sold the recipe to two candy makers in Lynn, Massachusetts, H. Allen Durkee, and Fred Mower.
Toot Sweet
The product was first put on store shelves in cans as Toot Sweet Marshmallow Fluff in 1917.
The sweet delicious cream was first produced in a glass jar in the 1940s. The Durkee-Mower company is one of only three companies in North America that produce this creme today.
Orginal Recipe
The original recipe contains corn syrup, sugar syrup, vanilla flavor, and egg whites. Egg whites are what give it its fluff.
Originally, there was a difference between marshmallow cream and marshmallow fluff. Marshmallow cream had more ingredients than just egg whites and sugar syrup.
It also has gelatin or xanthan gum in it to thicken it up–enough so that you can cut it into pieces and mold shapes out of it.
Extra Ingredients
But when they made the switch in 1950 to remove all these extra ingredients from the product, they didn’t change its name
Fluff is a regional tradition in the Northeastern United States. Since at least 2006, the city of Somerville has celebrated Query’s original creation of Fluff with an annual festival in Union Square.
Fairs and Art Shows
Activities at the festival have included science fairs, art shows, cooking contests, and carnival games. In 2011, actress Susan Olsen attended the festival and sold art that was inspired by Fluff.
2006
A fluffernutter is a sandwich made with peanut butter and marshmallow creme. In 2006, a state senator in Massachusetts proposed a restriction on the number of weekly servings of fluffernutter sandwiches in schools.
The proposal was later dropped. Also in 2006, State Representative Kathi-Anne Reinstein planned to file a bill that would make the fluffernutter the official sandwich of Massachusetts.
Usage in Arabic cuisine
This low-carb treat is also a traditional confection in Arabic cuisine, where it is commonly referred to as soapwort meringue.
The original recipe is based on soapwort (roots of Saponaria officinalis) or roots of the marshmallow plant, but modern commercial varieties are nearly identical to marshmallow fluff.
Low Carb Soft Peaks Form the Perfect Mixture
