My mother used to make a marshmallow shortcake using jelly crystals instead of gelatine, does anyone have a recipe like that please.

It is in the old Edmonds book: Beware tho, the jelly crystals these days are different, and doesn't achieve the firm effect, it can go quite soggy. Sorry my old book is fragile, and in quite a state on that page. I can't scan it but if you can't find it I will type it up for you. post back if you need it typed.

Marshmallow

Put cold water in a bowl.Gradually sir in gelatine. Let stand 5 mins.Put hot water and sugar in large saucepan. Stir over low heat until sugar is dissolved. Add gelatine mixture, stir over low heat until gelatine is dissolved. Bring to boil. Boil gently uncovered for 6 mins. Remove pan from heat, let cool to lukewarm. Put mixture in to mixer bowl. Add vanilla and lemon juice.Beat on high speed until thick and creamy.
I spread it over a coldcookedshortcake base.Sprinkle with coconut. Put in fridge to set.
