Plum paste without sugar "Eastern fairy tale" with dates (+ video)

Plum paste without sugar "Eastern fairy tale" with dates (+ video)

Category: Blanks

Ingredients
Pitted plums	2 Kg
Dates	600 g
Lemon	1 PC

Cooking method

What, what, and the plums this year just disfigured darkness! I dried and froze. Well, and, of course, I prepared a marshmallow.
My plums are sweet and sour. Sugar usually took a lot of plum marshmallow. But I found a way out)) And these are dates. Not only do they perfectly complement the taste of the marshmallow, but they also perfectly compensate for the acidity of the plums.
So, for 2 kg of pitted plums, I take a package of dates (600 g). If your plums are not very sour, then you can take less dates. By the way, I recommend taking Mazafati dates (it is better in a box, and not by weight, since loose dates are often soaked in sugar syrup). Remove the zest from the lemon, and remove the seeds from the dates (I additionally remove the skin from them, I really don't like it). We interrupt everything together in a blender and pour it onto trays of an electric dryer, pre-lubricated with vegetable oil. You can sprinkle sesame seeds on top, it will not be superfluous. I dried at 50 degrees for a little more than a day (about 26 hours). When I dry for so long, I turn off the dryer to "rest" only once for 30 minutes, about halfway through the journey (I have Belomo). If you dry in the oven, then at a temperature of 80-100 degrees with a slightly open door.
The taste and aroma of the resulting marshmallow resembles a candy, the ingredients are difficult to guess. The pastille is sweet, but it does not contain a single gram of sugar!
All the best!

Note

And this is a spicy plum marshmallow without problems:

Thank you, interesting! Probably, gooseberries are also possible ..?

Irina, Irina, thanks for the idea
We must do it too.
Cherry plums of honey sea, I don't know where to shove
And you can't eat so much at once
And I don't want to do it with sugar either.
Don't you make pears?
I want absolutely sweet and no sugar at all.
Everything sour is forbidden, but you want to pamper yourself



Thanks for the candy idea

kliviya, the beauty! Perhaps it is time to ask if you accept orders for marshmallow?

[kliviya]

kliviya, very good idea to add dates. Thank you. And then I made a plum marshmallow, it is sour, I cut it into a jar and it only goes into a salad with beets.
Malvpresli, gooseberries are also sour, and even with seeds, which, when dried, become seeds. He did not go to marshmallow with us.

Thank you)) Oh, she would have time to dry herself

And thank you! Well, yes, you don’t eat too much sour ((And you can grind gooseberries through a sieve. Of course, there is a lot of fuss, but if you really want to ...))

she only leaves

Pastila recovers well in water and in this form can serve as a basis for drinks, sauces and jellies ...

Marina ま り な, I will definitely not soak the marshmallow. My husband still eats it sometimes, I can't, I feel sour.

I am today got up created
Dates are not brought to our general store, and 300 grams per 1.5 kg, those that were in my bins, were not enough
I didn't add sugar with a specialist.
Poured half a bottle of Jerusalem artichoke syrup, sour
Added sugar substitute, better, but sour
I poured a little more, and for complete authenticity I put a bar of dark chocolate
Warmed up a little and wiped off the skins of plums and dates.
It turned out 5 full trays
Dry.
And what scent went through the house
In general, I'm waiting

Before going to the market, I'll take the dates and make it according to the recipe.
Only I have to put probably 1: 1. to make it sweet
I will eat a small piece as a "highlight"

That creativity was played out in earnest))
I think that 1: 1 will be a lot. Try adding gradually. My plums are sweet and sour, but when I interrupted in a blender, it turned out sour, the sweetness disappeared somewhere (most likely the sour skin did its job), but 600 g of dates was enough for my head.

600 g of dates was enough for my head.

So this is 2 kg. For me 300 grams per kilogram will definitely not be enough
By the way, the question arose - is it necessary to use the peel?
It can be removed straight from my stocking. The pulp is like honey

Oh, such a scent at home

By the way, the question arose - is it necessary to use the peel?

That is not necessary. If it can be easily removed, then you can do without it. There will be less acid.

Oh, late I remembered about the marshmallow, the cherry plum ends
But I'll try to do it with dates.
"Team hodgepodge" is ready
I learned 700 grams of yummy

Irina, thanks for the interesting recipe. What matters to me is that it is prepared without sugar. Only I have not seen such dates on sale. Tell me, who is their manufacturer? Girls, from Russia, are they sold here?

Hello! Thank you ))
There is no specific brand name. This is exactly the sort - Mazafati (Mazafati). They grow in Iran (on the packaging they usually write the place where they were brought from). Ask at points of sale Iranian Mazafati.
