Pasta, Pasta, Pasta!!! We dry everything.

Catch! Lots, Lots of Recipes!

Since then, I myself have been inventing and collecting pastille recipes from everywhere. Many and varied. I have not tried many of these recipes myself - they are honestly stylized (Kowtow to the authors!

) Many in the season will do.

When frozen, 20-25% of vitamins are lost, when dried, only 2-5%.
Plus, the energy structure of the product is changing. Is this not a reason to dry everything? Yes, and the problem of preservation is being solved - I kept all the marshmallows at home, in boxes.

I use raw marshmallow recipes as much as possible - the less heat treatment of the product, the more we save vitamins. You can grind raw fruits and vegetables in a blender, then you get a more vitamin, and therefore a healthy product.

I use honey instead of sugar. Fans can use stevia. Many fruits and berries can not be sweetened at all. They are so good.

pay attention to recipes with nettle, amaranth leaves, dandelions. We do not doubt the benefits of these plants.

"Yogurt Delight".
For pastille we need: yogurt, pine nuts
Yogurt can be mixed with pine nuts or put them on top.

2 liters of puree, immediately whip in a blender at a time. This is enough for 5 trays.
Composition - 1 liter of berries (various), 3 medium bananas and 1 medium zucchini, honey (sugar - 3-5 tablespoons) depending on the sweetness or acidity of the berries.

Last summer, overripe bananas cost 2 rubles. Quite suitable for marshmallows, though blackened in places, but not moldy.

Banana with leaves
I’ll take bananas, lemons as a basis (more if you like it sour), not very much honey and herbs that grow in the garden: lemon balm, mint, currant leaf, raspberry leaf, oregano, you can add some berries, grape mustache, calendula flowers, chamomile and more.
Kill all this with a blender and dry no higher than 40, since honey cannot be heated higher.

And it stole

Pastila spicy
Tomatoes, not a large clove of garlic, a little black pepper, five large leaves of basil, chop in a blender. Put the mass on a sheet for marshmallow, oiled and dry for 12-15 hours. Delicious with fresh rye-wheat bread.

Pastila "Apple"
Peel the apples from the core and chop in a food processor or grate on a coarse grater along with the peel. This is the foundation. For dressing, take grated Victoria berries, fresh or frozen, add crushed ripe bananas. Mix everything well. The mass should be like dough for pancakes. Mix with apples and put everything on greased marshmallow trays. Dry at a temperature of 55 degrees for 11-12 hours. Remove while warm and roll up immediately. Berries for dressing can be different - wild strawberries, wild strawberries, cranberries, lingonberries, honeysuckle, sea buckthorn and others. You can use plum jam or other jams. For elasticity in berry puree, add bananas, preferably overripe. If sour, then add dark sugar. You can add some cinnamon. Apple marshmallow replaces chips, if you add seeds, nuts.

"Banana Apple Crackers"
Peel ripe apples and bananas. Prepare a couple of tablespoons of honey (if the apples are sweet, you can do without honey or replace with a few dates if you are allergic to honey). Grind fruit in a food processor or blender, add honey. Lubricate the pastille tray with vegetable oil. Add walnuts or almonds. If you dry the marshmallow to an almost solid state (15-18 hours, depending on the thickness of the layer), then you can not roll it into tubes, but arrange it in the form of cookies, cut into rectangles with a knife or scissors.

Yoghurt Delight
For marshmallow we need: yogurt, pine nuts and poppy seeds. Yogurt can be mixed with pine nuts or put them on top. Place on a lightly oiled pasta tray. Dry at a temperature of 50-55 degrees (Medium) until cooked. It turns out something like an eastern dastarkhan.

"Almond sweets"
Peel ripe apples of local varieties and add a little cinnamon. Grind until smooth. If the apples are not sweet enough, you can also add brown sugar or honey to taste. Then, as usual, apply the apple mass on a tray greased with vegetable oil and leave to dry. But do not bring it to readiness, but catch the moment when the marshmallow is no longer liquid, but still sticky and plastic, like plasticine. Cover the nuts with marshmallow to form small sweets, roll in coconut flakes and leave to dry for a few more hours. Well-dried sweets do not stick together, they are perfectly stored in glass or tin jars.

Loose pastille, prepared with the Isidri dryer
Marshmallow is made from whipped apple puree, natural additives are added to the puree: sugar, honey, berries, nuts. You need to beat until the state of sour cream, so that the puree does not spread during drying, for this you can add egg white (whipped) to it. Pour mashed potatoes onto 1 continuous sheet for marshmallow - a thick layer (about half a liter). Each layer is dried separately, and then smeared with a thin layer of honey and connected together in a beautiful cake. By experimenting with different additives and layers, you can get the most unexpected taste. It is hard to imagine that there is no flour in it at all. Compared to the usual unwhipped marshmallow, it turns out to be very tender and tasty.

Who bought and tested, share your impressions and recipes.

Summer is a fertile time when you can make fabulous stocks of fruit for the whole winter. From apples, pears and other garden fruits, you can boil compotes and preserves, make jam, dry apples and, of course, make homemade marshmallows.

Pastila is a well-known dessert of Russian cuisine, airy and tender. Making homemade pasta is easy. In addition to apples (sour varieties are preferred), pears, quince, as well as various berries are actively used - currants, raspberries and even lingonberries collected in the swamp. In Russia, in addition to fruits, they took sugar, honey, and also egg white for color. Cooked then marshmallow, of course, in the oven. Modern housewives have its more convenient counterpart - the oven.

How is homemade pastille prepared? Let's talk about the example of an apple, because an apple is the most common fruit. Yes, and the harvests of apples are so rich that it is not a sin to experiment.

First of all, apples (choose ripe ones) need to be peeled - cut out the core. Then add water and cook for a quarter of an hour until softened. Then rub the apples through a sieve, add sugar and cook until the color changes. Lay baking paper or a baking bag on a baking sheet, pour the resulting mass. Dry the marshmallow either in the oven at a low temperature (about 100 degrees), or simply by exposing it to the air. Pastila is dried for half a day.

Apples for marshmallows can be both boiled and baked in the oven. After the fruits are baked, they are freed from the burnt skin, cooled and rubbed through a sieve (preferably twice). For splendor, the mass can be beaten and only then put on a baking sheet and dried.

To determine if the marshmallow is ready, you need to pierce it with a match - the match must be clean.
The marshmallow is taken out, cooled and sprinkled with powdered sugar. Then cut into pieces. You can arrange the marshmallow in jars (clean and dry), and then hermetically seal.
Pastila is stored at a temperature not higher than +8.

Helpful Hints

*Be careful when drying marshmallow outdoors. If the temperature is below +25 degrees, midges can start in the delicacy.
* The thinner the layer of marshmallow, the faster it will be ready.
* Ready marshmallows are conveniently laid out not only in jars, but also in containers.
*In summer, the best place to store marshmallows is the refrigerator. It is recommended to give preference to the top shelf.
* Pastila can be eaten just like that, and put on a slice of bread.

If you're hungry and don't have much time, marshmallow is the answer. Pastilles de Leche means "milk tablets" or "milk tablets" in Spanish. This food delicacy is not usually available in other countries.

2. Pastila from goat milk

The ingredients for making goat's milk marshmallow are the same as if you make them from cocoa or cow's milk, except you have to use less sugar.

You will need:

• goat milk (1 liter)
• corn starch (1 teaspoon)
• white sugar (1/2 cup)

You can add ingredients according to your preference.

The preparation is the same as when making milk lozenges with cow's milk or carabao milk.

Goat milk is a good alternative for pasta ingredients. Basically, all you need to do is replace cow's milk with goat's. The ingredients will remain the same, however, be aware that when you use liquid goat's milk, the shelf life of your lozenges may be shorter than if you use powdered cow's milk. Goat milk is usually sold in liquid form and it is very rare to find a powdered version in supermarkets.

3. FAQ:

- Can I use corn starch to thicken my lozenge mixture?

Yes, you can, but make sure you balance the milk and sugar mixture properly. Otherwise, your lozenges will not taste good, and they will be badly chewed and pasty. Cornstarch is often used to thicken recipes - sauces, gravies, etc., so it's a good option for pastilles. The only downside is it's not very accurate.

What is the mass of one lozenge in this recipe?

- It depends on how big your marshmallow will be. However, for this particular example, 8 pieces of a regular shaped lozenge would be about 120 grams (15 grams each).

Do lozenges need to be refrigerated before shaping and coating?

Yes. They are easier to mold after they have been chilled for 30 minutes. If you used the no-slab method, you can shape them right away. It is advisable to grease your hands with coconut oil, as this facilitates the modeling process.

How long is the shelf life of marshmallow?

Marshmallow will keep for 2 weeks if refrigerated or 1 week if stored in a dark, dry place such as a cupboard. Unless you are individually packaging lozenges, you will need to store them in an airtight container.

- Why, when a metal ladle is used, the lozenges are dark in color? When we made marshmallow, we used a metal ladle and the marshmallow changed its color.

If your spoon is aluminum, it will react to the mixture. In addition, stainless steel spoons heat up quickly when stirred and can change the composition of lozenges as well as overheat milk. Use a wooden spoon.

The transition to proper nutrition is especially difficult for those with a sweet tooth, since it is difficult to find healthy delicacies in stores: some dangerous “ingredient” will break the slender composition. Professionals advise lovers of sweets to figure out how to make marshmallows at home, and ease the complexity of a proper diet with this step.

How to make apple marshmallow at home

One of the most famous factories that produced such a delicacy was and remains Belevskaya: apple marshmallow, which was prepared according to the old technology, was delivered even to Europe. To this day, this technology is an unspoken quality standard. Such an apple marshmallow is a full-fledged dessert, similar to a small cake. A few of its features:

• The most dietary homemade marshmallow is dark, thin, dense. Such a dessert is dried in the sun, so it can only be prepared in summer.
• An airy dessert, familiar to most from factory sweets, is protein: it is sweeter and more difficult to prepare, but you can start creating it at any time of the year.
• If your oven has a minimum temperature of 100 degrees, it is better not to use it - the delicacy will burn.
• The owners of the fruit dryer are very lucky - they can cook the traditional apple "clean" marshmallow: it will be dried in a day.
• The pan for cooking fruit should not be enameled, otherwise the food will burn.
• If you intend to cook a protein pastille from heat-treated apples, keep in mind that the product will greatly decrease in size, losing moisture. Make a thick layer (1-1.5 cm), otherwise the marshmallow will simply dry out.
• Traditional apple marshmallow at home for drying in the open air is laid out in a layer of 5-6 mm.

Pastila from apples in a slow cooker

The recipe is slightly different from the classic one with an additional ingredient in the form of nuts - it is best to use pine nuts. The calorie content of such marshmallow increases, but with moderate use, the dessert continues to be considered dietary. If you are afraid for the figure, remove the nuts from the list of ingredients: this will not affect the consistency of the working mass.

Composition of the product:

• green apples - 1.5 kg;
• sugar - 300 g;
• nuts - 75 g;
• lemon juice - 1/5 cup.

How to cook marshmallow at home using a slow cooker? Act like this:

1. Chop the washed and cut apples with the liquidated middle, pour into a blender, scroll until puree.
2. Pour the mass into a slow cooker, add sugar, mix. Close the lid, set the "cooking" mode.
3. An hour later, add lemon juice, crushed kernels of nuts. Mix again.
4. If the mass is too liquid, cook it for another half an hour.
5. When excess water has evaporated, spread the thick puree over the paper, smoothing it well. Put on the windowsill, dry for 4-5 days (depending on the climatic conditions of the room).

Pastila in the oven

The fastest way to get a delicious natural treat, for which you can use the previous recipe, changing only the last steps of the work. After the apples are evaporated and mashed, you need to follow these steps:

1. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
2. Pour thick puree, spread with a spatula. Approximate thickness - 7 mm.
3. Dry at a temperature of 50 degrees for 6 hours, check: if the sheet lags behind the parchment easily, you can remove the marshmallow. If not, continue drying.
4. Cut the finished delicacy into strips, twist into tubes, remove.

How to cook marshmallow outdoors

This recipe is recommended to use in the summer, when the sun is very active. The composition of the classic marshmallow consists only of apples, so the list of ingredients is not given: only the technology of cooking at home deserves attention. The calorie content of such a marshmallow is equal to the calorie content of apples: remember the initial volume of the product, weigh what happened at the output, and calculate the moisture loss.

Technology for making traditional pastille:

1. Wash the apples, peel, cut into several pieces, focusing on the size of the fruit: large by 8, small by 3-4.
2. Put the slices in a saucepan with thick walls. Pour in boiled water to make a layer 1-1.5 cm thick.
3. Boil apples until they are soft: large ones will cook for about two hours, small ones can take half an hour.
4. Give the puree another quarter of an hour to lose some of the moisture without a lid, decant the remains through a sieve. The thick mass that has gathered in it is the basis of the marshmallow. It should be laid out on a baking sheet with parchment in a very dense layer, exposed to the sun.
5. It will take 3-5 days to dry using this technology; at night, marshmallows are brought into the house. After you need to turn it over and hold it for a few more hours in the sun.

How to make apple marshmallow without sugar

In addition to the previous traditional recipe, there are ways to do without the most harmful sweetener, replacing it with a more natural one. Professionals suggest using liquid honey: flower or buckwheat is ideal. The set of ingredients for such a marshmallow at home is simple:

• ground cinnamon;
• apples.

Cooking principle:

1. The volume of each ingredient is not indicated on purpose, as it is chosen individually: the main product is apples. Honey and cinnamon are only responsible for the taste.
2. Wash the main fruit, peel and chop. Evaporate until soft in a saucepan.
3. Grind with a grater or make it with a blender, add warmed honey, cinnamon. Mix carefully.
4. Spread the puree over the tray, send it to the dryer for 10-12 hours. After taking it out in the sun, cook for a few more days in the air.

Homemade pastille with egg white

An old recipe from the Belevskaya manufactory, which any housewife can use. A simple composition, a short algorithm of actions - such an apple marshmallow is prepared at home for 6-7 hours and requires accuracy when working with each product. A natural treat can be stored for a long time if it is hermetically sealed, but the marshmallow is so tasty that it is eaten faster than it has time to get into the refrigerator.

For Belevsky homemade dessert you will need:

• unsweetened apples (preferably Antonov) - 2 kg;
• granulated sugar - 260 g;
• eggs - 3 pcs.;
• powdered sugar - for sprinkling.

Cooking pastille at home looks like this:

1. Wash and peel the apples, cut out the stalk and the seed part. Put in a small saucepan, send to a hot oven. Bake until soft, the waiting time depends on the size and variety of apples.
2. Cool the baked fruit, chop it with a blender, then rub it through a colander with very small cells: the mass should look like baby puree.
3. Pour half the sugar, beat with a mixer until the color changes and the volume of the apple mass increases.
4. Break the eggs into a dry (this is important!) bowl, eliminate the yolks. Beat the whites, gently introducing the rest of the sugar with teaspoons. When they take the form of a thick dense foam, you can proceed to the next step.
5. Separate about 3 tablespoons with the top of whipped protein, mix the rest in the smallest portions with applesauce.
6. Cover Teflon baking sheets of the same size (preferably small) with paper, making sides about 2.5-3 cm. Pour a layer of puree to this height, carefully level with a wooden spatula. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
7. Dry at the middle level of the oven for 5 hours, temperature - 85-90 degrees.
8. Cover with the previously set aside whipped protein, fold the marshmallow layers on top of each other, dry for another couple of hours.
9. Turn over, hold in the oven for an hour, remove. Cool, divide into portions.

Pastila is a very good alternative to sweets. If parents want their child to grow up healthy, then one of the stumbling blocks along the way is factory-made sweets.

Personally, I have not met a single little person in my life who would not like sweets. The question of the usefulness-harmfulness of those same sweets arose in our family very sharply when a granddaughter was born. What alternatives were not offered! And honey, and jam, and homemade yoghurts, and dried fruits ... And the child stubbornly asked for chocolates and sweets.

But my grandmother Lena (my mother-in-law) prepared marshmallow, and I heard from my daughter that my granddaughter would rather eat it than dried fruits. I decided to give this tasty treat a try.

How to make pasta

I didn’t have any recipes for marshmallow at hand, I got all the experience by trial and error. Started with strawberries. I made marshmallows in the following sequence: chopping berries, adding honey, drying on a tray smeared with homemade cream. I liked it, but the smell of cream still interfered with enjoying the aroma of strawberries. I realized that in the preparation of marshmallow, a very important role is played by the fat with which the pallets are lubricated.

Important note: if honey is used in the preparation, then the marshmallow must be dried at a temperature not exceeding 45 °.

After the strawberries, it was the turn of the apricots.

The composition of the marshmallow is similar: fruits are crushed, honey is added to taste, and everything is dried on a special tray, lubricated with oil so that no streaks are visible. I do it with cotton wool. This time it turned out so well that I, tasting these goodies, became like a small child who climbs into a jar of jam with his palm. It was impossible to break away from the "tasting".

I liked such sweets so much that I arranged a whole assembly line for the production of marshmallows from all kinds of combinations of fruits and vegetables.

Experiments and finds

It is best to take rapeseed honey. It crystallizes very well and does not have a strong odor. By the way, with sugar, they say, marshmallow is not so tasty. It never even crossed my mind to make it with sugar. If you take acacia honey, then the marshmallow may not even work out: it will not dry out, it will be soft and sticky. And if, for example, buckwheat, then it can kill the smell of fruit.

According to my observations, fruits are viscous and fragile. For pasta, this is very important. From viscous fruits and berries (mulberries, cherries, cherries, plums, currants, gooseberries, grapes), it dries for a very long time, but it still sticks and the pieces stick together in a jar. But the vegetables are almost all fragile and quickly dry out - it turns out not marshmallow, but “chips”. Only tomatoes are viscous, of which marshmallow is delicious. I cook it without adding sweets, just chop the tomatoes on a blender and dry it like marshmallow.

I adapted to combine fruits in such a way as to compensate for the excessive viscosity of some with the fragility of others: apples-plums, pears-grapes, apples-cherries, apples-cherries-pears, apricots-cherries, apricots-plums. By the way, apple pastille is generally one of the most delicious.

I do the same with zucchini. But more about them. For a long time I solved the problem of where to adapt these vegetables, which are always in excess. You can cook zucchini jam, but where is there so much of it? And I thought of making pastille.

So: zucchini, fruits, berries, herbs, a little purified water and honey. Proportions do not like to write to leave room for creativity. I believe that any food is created in alignment with the products. You just need to make the crushed mass of such a density that it is convenient to pour it onto a pallet. And to be delicious!

By analogy with zucchini, I make pumpkin marshmallow: I combine apricots, grapes or nightshade with pumpkin. Actually, black nightshade is a poisonous plant, but ripe dried berries can be consumed. Apricots in this case are used dried. I pre-soak them in warm water for 12 hours, and then, together with some water, pumpkin and honey, grind them in a blender.

Another of my finds: I sprinkle pieces of marshmallow from viscous fruits and berries with herb powder (the herbs are dried and then ground with an iron strainer).

If you only knew how delicious it is: cherry pastille in cherry leaves, plum - in plum, raspberry - in raspberries, and grape - in powder of grape leaves, mustaches and flowers! It is not only tasty and healthy, but also solves the problem of overgrowth of raspberries, plums, cherries. In addition, it is now very easy to regulate the load of grape bushes: all the extra bunches are sent for drying just before flowering. And everyone is happy!
