Pastila - how to cook?

M @ rtochka, interesting! What is the secret ?? Do not dry out ?? Do not overdry? So the arode did not dry out ... In general, today I will continue to experiment.
And what about pectin? I have apple pectin, made from apple cores. Liquid. Maybe add it?

And what about pectin?

I always boil fruit-berries with added sugar and pectin. The pastila was elastic and never cracked.

Handsomely!
My marshmallow does not crack. She's just such that you can only tear her teeth. I'm exaggerating a little, but close to this.
The pastille made of mountain ash was soft.
I will add pectin.

She's just such that you can only tear her teeth.

Soft, very attractive. But I have, I repeat, only from boiled fruit puree. I never make raw materials.

I never make raw materials.

Well, from apples, something like from uncooked - nothing))

A sweet liquid remained. Here it is absolutely soft ...

sugar does not completely dry out

Sometimes I also have a marshmallow like a biscuit, I have to let it lie down. Maybe it will become softer. I'm overdrying it, but I'm sure it will be stored))
But most of the marshmallow rolls up into a tube, and so that it does not roll up, I break it, put it in a bag and not but snack it, myself and the kids :)

And with me it is not like a biscuit, but like a rubber. Such a toffee, but you can leave your teeth in it))

If the room is humid, let it lie down, it will become a little softer, but don't count on much :)

Not wet ...

Good evening everyone) I just have time to write recipes for marshmallows, and flavor combinations) of the craftswoman. But now I got worried, my grandmother has diabetes, I would like to pamper her with marshmallows, but I just can't decide on a sweetener, because sugar is needed for consistency. Can you tell me something? Or make an apple cider without sugar? But won't it crack.

And you for taste (benefit) or for beauty?
I make all the marshmallows without sugar. Various combinations of apples, bananas, peaches, plums, melons, grapes. Something is cracking, something is not, I do not pay attention. But everything is not boiled and without sugar
I grind everything with a blender with my foot in a saucepan and pour it onto a sheet of paper or a Teflon sheet.

For taste and benefit, my grandmother just loves sweets, the doctor allowed her to use stevia, and when we take sweets with her too, so I think, is it possible to make marshmallows with them? And if I am not sure, then of course, without sugar)



She can only eat apples, so it won't work to sweeten the combination (

Try ...
I also have stevia. Small measuring spoon = teaspoon. That is, for sweetness, you need to add very little to the marshmallow.
But honestly, I don’t understand why? Pastila is already a sweet enough product!



Ah, I understood, I saw about apples.
Try to make 2 types of marshmallow: from raw and boiled apples. Let Grandma try. Suddenly she will like something even without stevia

Thanks Daria, I'll try

[Kassandra26]

Kassandra26, I do not use sugar for ideological reasons, sugar, mmm, is normal. But I don’t use sugar. However, I had to buy a kilogram. Started making Belevskaya pastila according to Galina Gawala's recipe. So I put 2 tbsp there. tablespoons of sugar for 1 kg of puree. Try stevia instead. I didn't like stevia ...

[Kassandra26]

Kassandra26, Anna! Do not consider it tactless, but how old is your grandmother and how is her teeth? The pastila is hard. If only for a long time to dissolve it somehow. From my point of view, this delicacy is not for an elderly person. But the sweetener can be used safely. And stevia and fitparade

The pastila is hard.

Ol, well, I’ve never been hard .. I always sent her to my mother. She bites very easily, so pleasant to bite. But I only use boiled fruits and add sugar with pectin. Mixture: apples, plums, cherries ..

My marshmallow also cracked before. I dried on a high temperature. Then they told me to dry it on a high and dry it on a lower one. Now all does not crack, curls well. And with the addition of pectin, it is just mildly marmalade. Did a lot of different things.

I tried to beat applesauce with protein and stevia for marshmallow, agar is also added there, without agar it will settle, sugar is a protein fixer and is too sweet for me. In general, the dietary version of Belevskaya marshmallow would be good for grandmother, it is like a soft biscuit.

You can do it without sugar at all.

You think? Why was she silent? Why did I buy sugar?
I'll be with a mixer, I'll try.

You think? Why was she silent? Why did I buy sugar?

Well, look what the store is selling. Pastila Belevskaya without sugar .. But sweet apples are probably still needed. Antonovka is sour and Elvira wrote in the subject that it was sour with a small amount of sugar.
Do you have that sugar off scale or like, I'm getting better from sugar?

At first it was, like I'll get better, and then I got used to ALL without sugar, and now everything, even with a minuscule sugar, seems terribly sweet to me.

It's the same with salt, they forbade me, refused, got used to it. I bought sugar for the marshmallow and the Kirzhach pinned the salt, and I send everything to the jars, mixed up the jars and so I got salty marshmallow ...

Sugar is necessary for the head to work .. You can make belevskaya without sugar .. Then you will report in the subject ..

And I think that I slow down in some places ...
Yes, ma'am !!!

Natasha, that's interesting! How much to dry on a high temperature? Do you have pectin powder, of course?

Can you tell me something? Or make an apple cider without sugar? But won't it crack.

I have diabetes. I - am terribly wrong to break the dietary rules for diabetics. But I like to give advice on this very diet)
Diabetics should not be marshmallow with sugar or substitutes. Because marshmallow is a concentrate. Even from green apples. It contains a huge amount of fructose. It's an insulin bomb. Harmful. If you really want to, it's better to eat a fresh apple.

Is this so recognized by nutritionists? Or do you think so? But what about PP marshmallows? Are there applesauce, agar, protein, and stevia? As far as I know, nutritionists even recommend it as a substitute for sweets. In any case, you don't eat a lot of it at once. And how does it differ from Belevskaya pastila from Gali? Why can't diabetics?

Is this so recognized by nutritionists?

Yes, Ol. In any case, local. Our friends have an insulin-dependent granddaughter, the girl is only 9 years old. I brought them marshmallows, but I did not know that Ana-Lena was there. I tell her mother, they say, you can, there is almost no sugar. She winced so sadly and said that fructose, and this is also not allowed. She broke off a tiny piece and gave it to her. Straight just a tiny little one. It was sour pastila, the girl really liked it.But..

and stevia

I won't say anything about stevia. Here she is considered, by default, a plant provoking, provoking oncology.

Eh, thank you all for the advice, I will not risk it then

Of course it is sad. But what about marshmallow PP? It is even recommended in reasonable doses ...
It is still not clear why it is possible to just have an apple, but a baked one with protein, and sugar in Belevskaya marshmallow, as you say, can be completely excluded, is it impossible? I do not understand...

But what about marshmallow PP?

Ol, well, this is what you have. We have no concept of PP and even more so marshmallow. There are products for diabetics. If interested, I will see the composition of the chocolate, what is included.

and sugar in Belevskaya marshmallow, as you say, can be completely excluded, is it impossible?

Exclude it if you don't need it there. There are no problems with that.
... By the way, about sugar-free marshmallow. I, being at home this summer, "went broke" for 100 rubles and bought 100g of sugar-free marshmallows. Ol, you can't even imagine how sweet she was. I don't know what kind of apples are there, I even reread the name on the package. No, that's right, no sugar. But it was very sweet.
And yes .. Marketing has not been canceled yet. Obsessive. We offer you marshmallow, marshmallow, sugar-free, there is no this, this, the fifth, the tenth .. People are listening, yeah, without sugar, so I can, it's useful, etc., etc. An example with a girl and her reaction Mom, I wrote above ..
As far as I know, diabetics can do honey, but only acacia honey. I read it in some clever book.

[Ukka]

Ukka, I add bananas to the marshmallow. Good sweetness. I don't put sugar at all. I do with any sour berries. I adjust the sweetness with a banana. Try with pectin. I want a gummy biting marshmallow.

[Olga 61]

Olga 61, Olenka, candy is tasty to me and so, without sweets. Well you came up with a banana, but I don't eat bananas, that's true, once a year we eat one and that's it. I probably have something with acidity, I can eagerly crack a whole lemon right with the peel and will not grimace. I like everything sour. I like not sweet oranges, cranberries, I have apples instead of bread, I must definitely eat 2 a day, sour. So Galina marshmallow, with a minimum of sugar, 1 tbsp. a spoon for 1 kg of mashed potatoes suited me very much, I want to do it without sugar at all.

I don't know what kind of apples are there, I even reread the name on the package. No, that's right, no sugar. But it was very sweet.

Galina, and there are such apples - sweet, sweet! It is impossible to eat chips from them - not that ... Maybe these are apples.

But there are such apples - sweet, sweet! It is impossible to eat chips from them - not that ... Maybe these are apples.

Yes, but these are usually southern varieties, where there is a lot of sun.

My mother had apples on one apple, very sweet, very, very straight. I don't know the name of the variety, they themselves are light yellow, the variety ripens later than early summer apples, but earlier than Antonovka. Chips from them instead of sweets went well for tea :)
And Antonovka this year heaps. And I still won't start making Belevskaya marshmallow. But the usual marshmallow and sun-dried apples have already accumulated a trailer)) and I cook mashed potatoes, for Belevskaya marshmallow, in cans for now. As soon as there is more time, I'll do it :)

My mother had apples on one apple, very sweet, very, very straight.

Mom's only Melba is sweet, well, for my taste, conditionally sweet. Not so straight, sugar-sugar.

Do you lubricate the marshmallow trays with something? Or do you use baking paper, or purely on a pallet ???

Do you lubricate the marshmallow trays with something? Or do you use baking paper, or purely on a pallet ???

It is imperative to lubricate. I use olive oil. But I have an Isidri dryer. Not metal.

I have no pallets for marshmallows, I put a bed or baking siliconized paper or Teflon sheets on lattice trays for drying, they already have marshmallows on them.

Or do you use baking paper, or purely on a pallet ???

I'm just paper. It may be difficult to remove it sometimes, but no oil, so that nothing rancid. I dust the marshmallow with sweat. More precisely, not so. I roll it up, cut it into barrel pieces, put it in a container and sprinkle it with a little powder, close the container and shake it. The powder is distributed evenly, nothing sticks together. In the photo, the candy is slightly powdered.



This marshmallow went as a gift. Was eaten instantly .. In the photo is a mixture. what turns yellow is with pumpkin.

It is imperative to lubricate. I use olive oil. But I have an Isidri dryer. Not metal.

I have Isidri too. Two years ago I made a lot of different pastilles out of everything. Made on pallets, never greased them. She immediately rolled the pastila into a tube and then into baking paper. Until now, it has been perfectly preserved in the country, soft, folds-unfolds easily.

Thank you!!! On Tuesday I will get my drying and it will rush)))

It was strange, but it stuck to me so that I could not tear it off. The instructions say what to lubricate. Of course, good without oil.

And I have Isidri, I use pallets for marshmallows, I also don't grease with anything, it sticks, but you can take it off, most importantly, pick up the edge, and then it's a sheer pleasure, I love removing marshmallows from Isidri's pallets. There were no such pallets in the first dryer, I was tormented with paper. For me personally, the problem is to cut circles and holes ... And then I took a pallet, and immediately smeared mashed potatoes on it :)

The last trays bought last year were below all criticism. Some of them just had to be thrown away. At the same time, everything was fine on the old ones. True, some of them crumbled at the edges. Here, replaced. Until several times they were not chased away with marshmallow (with butter), they did not come to their senses. I even marked them with a felt-tip pen.

most importantly, to pick up the edge, and then a sheer pleasure, I love to remove the marshmallow from the Isidri pallets.

Yes, and I enjoyed filming. I only had a bad shot of blueberry marshmallow once, and everything was done well.

[4er-ta]

Are the Isidri pallets sprinkled around the edges?
My dryer and pallets are three years old, if I’m not mistaken, but there’s no trace of such things to crumble. I do not lubricate with oil so that there is no rancidity afterwards. Sometimes I store the pastila for two years .. therefore, the absence of oil is very important



4er-ta, And my crimson shot was a bit hard, and the apple one ... It's just lovely to work with her))
