There's an error in this recipe. The word "with" before "sugar and hot water" should not be in there--if you combine the gelatin in the saucepan, it will NOT work. You put the sugar and hot water in a saucepan, boil, and then add to the gelatin. I always put the gelatin in the bowl in which I'm going to beat the marshmallow and then pour the hot syrup over it.
