How to make marshmallow from pears in the dryer. Cooking marshmallows from pears, grapes and apples. How to organize the storage of marshmallow
Fruit and berry marshmallow is a traditional Slavic delicacy, prepared by gradually drying mashed fruits and berries to a plastic state. Such homemade marshmallow will be an excellent substitute for purchased sweets, and the beneficial properties of the product will make you more beautiful and healthier. This will help you, created specifically to facilitate the kitchen processes for preparing food for the winter.
Pear-grape-apple marshmallow with other products without sweetener
Traditionally, in the process of making marshmallows, sugar or honey is added to the puree. This makes it sweeter and more aromatic. But in a pear-grape-apple combination, you can do without these sweeteners, because the products themselves are quite sweet and tender. If you do not add sugar or honey, then the marshmallow dries faster. It is also worth noting the cost savings, especially if you are harvesting in large volumes.
Using a pear, grape and apple as a base, among the additional ingredients you can choose any seasonal or exotic berries and fruits that you have in your home, for example, banana, cherry, kiwi, mango, peach, strawberry. Each product will give the delicacy its own characteristics to a greater or lesser extent, due to which a real assortment of various types of marshmallows will appear on your table.
It is impossible not to mention the little tricks with which sugar-free marshmallow acquires an incredible aroma and perfect taste - these are the right additives. For example, an apple goes well with cinnamon, so you can safely add a small amount of it to your puree. You can also add some brandy. During drying, the alcohol will evaporate, and the taste of the drink will remain. Orange juice will give a slight sourness and successfully beat the taste of grapes, just do not add too much of it, because due to excess moisture, the Isidri marshmallow dryer will dry food longer.
Useful properties of treats from pears, grapes and apples for children and adults
In one product, the properties of three components rich in vitamins and minerals are combined. Apple is a source of iron. This fruit of health is saturated with vitamins C, groups B, P and E. Regular consumption of apples can prevent deficiency of manganese and potassium in the body. Thanks to this, blood pressure is stabilized, tooth enamel and bone tissue are strengthened. Apples in rare cases cause allergies, which allows almost everyone to use it.
Apple marshmallow is a dietary product, and apples cause a feeling of satiety for a long period. Therefore, such a delicacy is recommended for everyone who is on a diet or wants to lose weight. In addition, the properties of apples improve the complexion and freshness of the skin. Young children are especially recommended to use a fresh and thermally processed product, because fiber has a beneficial effect on the formation and functioning of the gastrointestinal tract.
Grapes, in turn, contain vitamin A and B6. Of the minerals, it is rich in magnesium, selenium, phosphorus, potassium, calcium. Glucose and fructose, which are abundant in grapes, contribute to the production of insulin in the blood.
Its composition is rich in folates - folic acid producers, so it is extremely important to use it in any form for young people who decide to conceive a child, as well as for pregnant women, thereby ensuring pregnancy without complications. Antioxidants, essential oils slow down the aging process. Grapes have a beneficial effect on the functioning of the heart, kidneys and respiratory tract.
Pear is a product that saturates the body with sugars, it is rich in enzymes, organic acids, tannins and nitrogen substances, pectins, vitamins C and groups B, P, provitamin A. It also contains flavonoids and phytoncides. But the main value of a pear is nutritional fiber. Of the micro and macro elements, it is worth highlighting iodine and potassium. At the same time, the pear is a low-calorie fruit, it can be consumed in large quantities.
Pears are recommended for use by those who suffer from indigestion, weak gastrointestinal tract. Its components play an important role in the hematopoietic process, strengthen the immune system.
If your marshmallow consists of these products, then no seasonal diseases, problems with the functioning of internal organs, beriberi are not terrible. And if you add some more additional components, then the benefits of marshmallow will only increase. The main thing is that the kitchen should always have an Ezidri dryer for vegetables and fruits, otherwise the expected effect will not be achieved.
Choosing products for pasta
Our option provides for the presence of apples, pears and grapes. We will tell you how to choose the right products so that the pastila at home turns out to be very sweet and healthy.
When choosing apples, pay attention to their variety. It should be sweet, large, juicy, ripe fruits. Externally, the fruit should not have any damage, places from impact, specks, rot, because this is a sign of improper harvesting, transportation in violation of the norms or improper storage of products. Warts, dark dots are a sign of soreness of the fetus. Dry and shriveled apples won't deliver the flavor that ripe, fresh apples have, so choose your fruit carefully.
Pears, like apples, must be ripe. Choose fruits of large, non-hard varieties with a honey smell and taste. It is better if the fruits are grown by you or somewhere in the countryside. They prevail over the greenhouse ones with a large amount of vitamins, and you also have a chance to buy pears that are not chemically treated to speed up the ripening process or improve their preservation.
Grapes are dark and white varieties, but in terms of their composition of nutrients and calorie content, they do not differ much. In any case, the bunch of grapes must be dry, with fruits of the same shape and size. Leaked and rotten berries are a sign of staleness or improper storage. When choosing between large greenhouse grapes and small "wild" ones, take the one that you like best, because both options can be used in marshmallow. In the "wild" grapes, the level of acids is much higher than in the greenhouse.
Homemade pastille recipe with photo according to our method
To prepare marshmallow, we needed 2.5 kg of apples, 3.1 kg of pears and 2.2 kg of Kishmish grapes. Of this amount of products, 1.6 kg was occupied by waste. We dried the resulting fruit and berry puree on 12 trays and got 1.1 kg of the finished product. It took about 2 hours to prepare the raw materials. The dryer for the Izidri marshmallow worked at a temperature regime of + 55˚ C for 18 hours.
Fruits and berries are pre-washed and dried. We prepared the pallets of the electric dryer by lubricating them with odorless sunflower oil. Next, apples, pears were peeled, cut into cubes. A little more than 150 g each of all the blanks was added to the blender bowl, so that in total 500 g of the product was obtained. Then everything was crushed in a blender and the resulting fruit and berry puree was evenly distributed over the tray with a spoon. Note that the products are quite easily crushed due to the juiciness of the grapes. We do this until all the blanks are used up and the trays are occupied. Pasta is ready to dry! After 18 hours, the result was as expected: soft, but strong layers that easily fall behind the pallet, smell good and are very tasty. Now you know how to make marshmallow yourself.
How to organize the storage of marshmallow?
In order for the marshmallow not to lose its properties, it must be stored correctly; three-liter dry jars are suitable for this. Wrap each piece of marshmallow in cling film and put everything in a jar, close the lid. In this form, it will be stored for a whole year. If you plan to store marshmallow for longer, then use not a simple nylon lid, but a vacuum one, then the marshmallow will not lose its properties for 2 years. Ziplock plastic bags can also be used. The most important thing is that the storage place is dark and with a stable low temperature: a basement, a refrigerator, a grocery cabinet. Otherwise, due to the heat, the marshmallow may melt and lose its shape. Also, kitchen moths do not disdain marshmallow, so never leave the container open.
The use of marshmallows - different variations
Pastila is not only delicious homemade sweets. You can take it with you to work or give your children to school as a snack, as it satisfies the feeling of hunger well. But if you experiment, then pastille can become a special highlight of your favorite dishes. For example, this sweet goes well with dairy products: yogurt, milk, sour cream. Therefore, you can make great cocktails for your family or sweet sauces for dessert.
In baking, the use of marshmallow is especially popular. It is used as a filling for rolls and twirls, it is used to decorate cookies and pretzels. The peculiarity of marshmallow is that it does not provide excess moisture, so your pastries will not settle and remain damp.
Marshmallow makes a wonderful jam. It just needs to be diluted a little with water, and that's it - a delicious fresh product is ready! If you add more water, you can please your loved ones with excellent compote, but with the addition of hot water you will get a healthy fruit and berry tea.
If you are a fan of creamy sweets: cakes, pastries, then with marshmallow you will discover new ways to decorate and design them. And a slight sourness will dilute the sugary monotonous taste of the cream and bring in such a sought-after sourness.
Pastila from fruits and berries is another proof that eating tasty and healthy is real. The main thing is to choose the right products, stick to the recipe, try to keep Isidri's dryer constantly busy with your new creations, and then your table will be filled with new bright flavors, and you will enjoy the opportunity to eat delicious summer products that have not lost their wonderful properties for a whole year.

Preparation of moonshine and alcohol for personal use
absolutely legal!
After the demise of the USSR, the new government stopped the fight against moonshine. Criminal liability and fines were abolished, and an article prohibiting the production of alcohol-containing products at home was removed from the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. To this day, there is not a single law that prohibits you and me from engaging in our favorite hobby - making alcohol at home. This is evidenced by the Federal Law of July 8, 1999 No. 143-FZ “On the administrative responsibility of legal entities (organizations) and individual entrepreneurs for offenses in the field of production and circulation of ethyl alcohol, alcoholic and alcohol-containing products” (Collected Legislation of the Russian Federation, 1999, No. 28 , item 3476).
Excerpt from the Federal Law of the Russian Federation:
"The effect of this Federal Law does not apply to the activities of citizens (individuals) who do not produce products containing ethyl alcohol for the purpose of marketing."
Moonshine in other countries:
In Kazakhstan in accordance with the Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan On Administrative Offenses dated January 30, 2001 N 155, the following liability is provided. Thus, according to article 335 “Manufacture and sale of home-made alcoholic beverages”, illegal production for the purpose of selling moonshine, chacha, mulberry vodka, mash and other alcoholic beverages, as well as the sale of these alcoholic beverages, entails a fine in the amount of thirty monthly calculation indices with confiscation of alcoholic beverages , apparatus, raw materials and equipment for their manufacture, as well as money and other valuables received from their sale. However, the law does not prohibit the preparation of alcohol for personal purposes.
In Ukraine and Belarus things are different. Articles No. 176 and No. 177 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of Ukraine provide for the imposition of fines in the amount of three to ten tax-free minimum wages for the manufacture and storage of moonshine without the purpose of sale, for the storage without the purpose of sale of apparatus * for its production.
Article 12.43 repeats this information practically word for word. “Production or purchase of strong alcoholic beverages (moonshine), semi-finished products for their production (mash), storage of devices for their production” in the Code of the Republic of Belarus on Administrative Offenses. Paragraph No. 1 states: “Production by individuals of strong alcoholic beverages (moonshine), semi-finished products for their manufacture (mash), as well as storage of devices * used for their manufacture - entails a warning or a fine of up to five basic units with confiscation of the indicated drinks, semi-finished products and devices.
* It is still possible to purchase moonshine stills for home use, since their second purpose is to distill water and obtain components for natural cosmetics and perfumes.

Ingredients:
- sugar - to taste;
- pear jam - 1 l.
Cooking
So that the marshmallow does not stick to the pan during cooking, lightly grease it with vegetable oil in advance. Then we prepare a thick puree from pears, which we then carefully spread in an even layer over the tray so that the puree layer in the middle is slightly thinner than at the edges. Then carefully place the pallet on the base. During drying, it is best not to touch or move the dryer. In general, marshmallow should be considered dried when it stops sticking in the center of the pan. So that the delicacy does not turn out to be fragile, you can mix pear puree with various berries and other fruits - this will give the marshmallow strength. The average drying time is usually around 16 hours. We remove the finished marshmallow while it is still warm, carefully roll it into a tube, cool it and put it in an airtight container.

- sugar - to taste;
- cinnamon - to taste;
- lemon - 1 pc.
Cooking
So, for starters, pears and apples are thoroughly washed and wiped with a towel. Then cut the fruit into equal halves or quarters. Carefully cut out the middle with bones. We put apples and pears in a saucepan, cover with a lid and put on a weak fire to stew in our own juice. Next, carefully drain all the resulting juice and grind the fruit in a blender, adding lemon juice and granulated sugar to taste. You can also add your favorite flavors, such as cinnamon or vanilla, to taste, although without them it will also be delicious. Mix everything thoroughly, and cook the resulting puree for about an hour on the stove. Then spread the mass on a baking sheet, spread it with a thin layer and dry it in the oven at a temperature of 170 degrees.
If you have already bought a dryer, then these tips are for you. Pastila can be made from sugared boiled or not boiled fruit or vegetable puree. Coarsely grated fruit produces a denser marshmallow than mashed potatoes. Fruits that are much more susceptible to oxidation than others (apricots, apples, pears, etc.), it is recommended to boil, cool, and only then proceed to the preparation of marshmallows.
- In order to avoid sticking of marshmallow to the pallet, it is recommended to lubricate it with sunflower oil.
- Prepare a thick puree (overripe fruit is best for this)
- Spread the puree on the pan with a spoon, the best option is when the puree is located at the edges in a thinner layer than in the center.
- On average, one pallet needs half a glass of mashed potatoes
- Carefully place the drip tray on the base of the dryer
- Do not allow puree to enter the base of the dryer, as this may contaminate its mechanisms and cause the dryer to fail.
- During drying, it is better not to move the Ezidri dryer.
- A marshmallow is considered dried when it is no longer sticky in the center.
- It should be borne in mind that for some products (bananas, strawberries) this method is not applicable, since they still remain sticky.
- In order to avoid a high content of stones and fragility of marshmallow, it is recommended to mix berries with other fruits.
- The Ezidri Classic dryer can handle the preparation of marshmallows in about 12-16 hours.
- Marshmallows made with a mixer are smoother than those made with crushed fruit. Pastila from some fruits (bananas, kiwi) is recommended to be prepared exclusively with a mixer.
- Remove the marshmallow without letting it cool, roll it into a tube and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator, so it will last longer.
