Pastila from cake: review of the best recipes for making homemade pastila from cake

An example of a recipe for making homemade marshmallow will be presented based on apple pulp, and below you can familiarize yourself with various options for preparing pulp marshmallow from other products.

How to make marshmallow from apple pulp

• apple pulp – 1 kilogram;
• granulated sugar – 150 grams;
• water – 50 grams.

If you plan to make marshmallows from the pulp, then the apples should be squeezed in their peeled form, without peels and seeds.

The spent pulp is transferred to a frying pan with a thick bottom or a basin, kneading the apple mass with your hands.Any large parts of the apple found are chopped with a knife and sent back.

Add water to the apples and boil the contents of the pan for 5 minutes with the lid closed. If the squeezes are very dry, then you can add 2 times more water.

After the apples have softened, granulated sugar is added to them. Mix everything thoroughly and put on the fire to boil for 15 - 20 minutes. The mass should thicken and decrease slightly in volume. To prevent the puree from burning, it must be constantly stirred with a spatula. Cool the finished applesauce slightly.

There are three ways to dry puree:

• In the oven. The puree is placed on a silicone mat or wax paper lightly greased with vegetable oil. The layer should not exceed 4 - 5 millimeters. Dry the marshmallow at a temperature of 180 degrees for 20 minutes, and then dry it until ready at a temperature of 60 degrees. Important feature: the oven door should be open approximately 3 fingers.
• In an electric dryer. The puree is placed in a container for preparing marshmallows or on wire racks covered with baking paper. To prevent the pastille from sticking, the trays are lubricated with vegetable oil. The product is dried at a maximum temperature of 65 - 70 degrees. If the marshmallow is dried in several tiers, then for uniform drying, the trays are periodically swapped.
• On air. You can also dry pastille from cake in a natural way. To do this, the containers are placed on a glazed balcony or simply outside. Containers with marshmallows must be protected from insects. To do this, cover the trays with gauze so that it does not touch the fruit mass. Drying time – 4 – 5 days.

The finished marshmallow is rolled into rolls or cut into arbitrary geometric shapes.Store the product in the refrigerator in a plastic container or glass jar.
