Pastila preparation technology
Pastila is made from a mixture of berries, crushed until smooth. This can be done using a blender, a fine meat grinder or by hand. Granulated sugar, lemon zest, mint leaves or vanillin are added as aromatic and flavoring additives.
The berry mass is placed in a thin layer on trays greased with fat and dried until ready.
It is very convenient to use modern dehydrators for vegetables and fruits for preparing marshmallows.Some of them are equipped with trays for preparing marshmallows. If there is no special tray, then you can make it yourself, for example, from baking paper. Drying marshmallows in the dryer takes approximately 8 - 10 hours, at a heating temperature of 70 degrees.
If there is no drying unit, then a conventional oven will come to the rescue. To prevent the marshmallow from sticking to the baking sheet, cover it with parchment and grease it with vegetable oil. The oven is heated to a temperature of 80 - 100 degrees, and the marshmallow is dried until ready for 6 - 9 hours.
