Pastila with apricots with cinnamon (and not only)

Category: Vegetable and fruit dishes

Ingredients
apricots	3-4 kg
sugar	15 table. spoons
freshly ground cinnamon (you can also in a bag)	taste

Cooking method

• 
• Good day to all!
• Today I will show the recipe for apricot marshmallow with cinnamon with step by step photos - how I do it.
• We take the apricot, rinse it, let it drain a little so that there is no excess moisture, separate it from the seeds,
• put in a saucepan, beat into a homogeneous mass using an immersion blender (you can add sugar if the apricot is too sour, but I did not add it at this stage), add freshly ground (or in bags) cinnamon - according to your taste, you can also vanilla.
• 
• Further, if you have a dryer with special. with trays like Isidri, then we rejoice,
• if not, take any baking sheet in a standard dryer.
• On a baking sheet we put 2 sheets of baking paper crosswise (sold in rolls, 5-10 meters each, it is more profitable to take a roll in a special baking store, there are 50 meters),
• 
• in the middle we cut a hole (where you have a round one for ventilation), then gently pull with your fingers, expand - it turns out like this:
• 
• Pour out the apricot mass, about 0.5 to 1 cm thick,
• too thin it is impossible - it will be inconvenient to separate, and thicker - it will dry for a long time.
• Sprinkle sugar on top (optional) around the entire perimeter, about 2-3 tables. tablespoons of sugar in 1 baking sheet.
• It is very convenient to level with a silicone spatula:
• 
• Before starting the drying process, cut off the edges of the parchment paper around the entire circle, so that there is free air circulation in the dryer, that is, we make a circle, retreating from the edges by 0.5-1 cm inward.
• Like this:
• 
• Dry for 5-6 hours at 68-70 degrees. If you have a maximum of 50, that's okay, you just take longer to dry.
• Approximately once every 1-2 hours, change the location of the trays (5 pieces, moving them higher and lower among themselves, so that the marshmallows on all the trays are dried evenly).
• Next, dry it at a temperature of 50-55 degrees for another 2-3 hours.
• We define readiness as follows: if the candy is slightly springy when pressed with a finger, then it is ready, if the finger is buried in the mass, or the structure is still like jam, we dry it further.
• Overdrying is also not worth it - the marshmallow will be harder, and it will be difficult to bite off or cut it.
• In order to EASILY SEPARATE the dried PASTEL from the parchment paper, put it in a baking sheet with water for 1-3 minutes, only so that the sheet of paper is in contact with water, you do not need to completely immerse it there.
• Next, I show a photo of how it separates - no problem:
• 
• We roll it into a roll, cut it with a sharp knife, obliquely (this is more beautiful), or put the whole "sausages" in a little bag for storage in the refrigerator or freezer. Still other hostesses roll it up in 3-10 liter cans, with standard tin lids (I do not practice).

The dish is designed for

5 trays

Time for preparing:

8-10 hours

Cooking program:

6 hours - t- 68 C ', 2-3 hours t- 50 C'

Note

I made apricot + banana, apricot, apricot + cinnamon marshmallow.
And also - APRICOT + ZABACHEK, and even just from ZABACHKA.

Attention! Before pureing, cut the zucchini into cubes, cook in sugar syrup for 20-30 minutes over low heat (no need to add water, the zucchini + sugar will juice itself) for about 2 kg of zucchini 1 glass of sugar.

Further, everything is the same according to the recipe.
Very tasty cabbage + apricot, but it is better not in layers, but mix together with a blender (the cabbage is not raw, but boiled in sugar syrup - see above).
Pastila becomes more plastic and slightly sweeter than just apricot.
There is no hint of a pub in the taste, but a pleasant plasticity and sweetness.

This is how the marshmallow looks from LEFT TO RIGHT:
apricot with cinnamon, apricot with zucchini (in layers, later began to do it together - it's better), and zucchini marshmallow (yellow):


Yellow, because the "Zolotinka" variety is the same color.

Oh, Helen, yummy !!!!! Apricots, however, "bite", but the zucchini are already ripe. So I'll try. Thank you!

If all goes well, I'll try your recipe.

I did it a little differently, with protein and on a baking sheet.
Beat the fruit puree with sugar and add the protein of one egg.
I dried it for a long time in the oven with the door ajar, at the minimum temperature until golden brown.

Zucchini pastilles are more like marmalade or thick honey,
if you were given a try, you would never have guessed what it is - well, sooo tasty and unusual.

But its structure is not dense, but looser, and sticky, therefore, I did not continue to make only from zucchini, but I make apricot + cabbage.

[CurlySue]

CurlySue, but what about wild apricots, don't know if it will work?
We sell it inexpensively, and a lot, and the varietal apricot is almost gone.

Oh, Helen, yummy !!!!!

Tasha, thanks!
It's a little easier for us, we have an apricot - like garbage, lying around under the fences. Nobody collects.
We live in the suburbs, I collected a couple of buckets and processed them into marshmallows.

And our garden is still young, only 1.5 years ago we bought a house, planted a garden, therefore, we do not have our own yet - we are waiting.

If all goes well, I'll try your recipe.

Try it, to your health.

CurlySue, what about wild apricots, don't you know if it will work?

And why not - of course it will.
Just look, if the bones are not separated well - suffer.

[CurlySue]

CurlySue,
I mnu have a lazy recipe - start up in a cauldron, and then something like that
so periodically I fight with cherry plum

so periodically I fight with cherry plum

We also have a bit of it, but I don't want to fool around, as I think ...
its easier just for compote.

[CurlySue]

CurlySue, once lived in a private house, this is where you can spin from morning to evening, there will be enough work for everyone. I even miss those times now.

Compote was cooked, I remember, from everything that was. Mom twisted the cans in 3 liters, and necessarily, a little bit of currant or gooseberry berries, give a good shade to the taste. But only cherry plum is also good, and compote, and jam in winter for tea.

And I, on the contrary, almost always in high-rise buildings, in the city ... and then they decided to buy a house, so that there was a garden and a vegetable garden, and the children had a place to grow and play ... in general, they decided, a very, very urban guy and a girl - to such a dramatic step. And for 1.5 years we have never regretted it. What is interesting, probably because in my childhood and adolescence, no one made me plant and dig potatoes, now all this gardening and horticulture is a thrill for me!
By the way, I'll be in Odessa on the 31st. How is the weather there? Like sea?

[Elena]

Elena, looked at the thermometer - 33 C in the shade.
Yesterday there was a heavy downpour for half a day, so swimming in the sea for several days is not worth it, as the water was very warm - 24-25 C, and the salinity was normal, as for me.
Come, I hope you have a good rest
Although there are a lot of people at sea, especially in the evening and on weekends.

Told me that the water already glows in the evenings

the water already glows in the evenings

What does it mean?

[Elena]

Elenathe sea is said to be phosphorus
This means that half of the summer has already passed,
usually starts in August, but this year everyone is in a hurry and nature too.

This means that half of the summer has already passed

Clear.
Well, she's already gone.

They also say that they can't do anything.
Lena, great solution!

Only, I would still dry at a pace. 55-60 *, then the edges will not sunbathe much - my opinion

Only, I would still dry at a pace. 55-60 *

Admin, thanks for the comment and advice.
You know, this is a photo from the very first portion, where I dried it all the time at 68 *, (the maximum for me) and we got such "crispy" edges.
And then I corrected and specially for the last couple of hours I dry at 50-52 *, and so it is no longer fried.

Lena, and if zucchini + apricot, then what, approximately proportions? I will specially buy it to make something unusual for my grandchildren, otherwise all the apples and apples ...

and if zucchini + apricot, then what, approximately proportions?

about 1: 3 (1-zucchini, 3-apricot).
The syrup after boiling the zucchini is DRAINED and not used in marshmallow, you can then go somewhere in baking, it is sweet and aromatic.

Thanks for the recipe, as the plum ripens I'll try it.

as the plum ripens I'll taste it.

Write about the result, it will be interesting.
This year we had frosts after flowering, and all the plums and cherries fell off ... no, so this year I will hardly make marshmallows from plums.

Can you dry in a simple oven?

Can you dry in a simple oven?

Masha, why not?

I just gave it in the dryer, because on the forum I could hardly find where to dry, how and what to do, so that it could be dried in dryers, and not on a baking sheet in the oven,
and then how to tear it off the paper ...
I read everything bit by bit in different topics on marshmallow ... So I put it together in one recipe with a photo, so that you could read only 1 recipe, and not search for all Temko about marshmallow.

and we have already prepared 12 pallets for winter with different combinations in our Sedona dryer! I haven't tried it with zucchini, thanks!

It's off topic but interesting
-apricots mask the taste of zucchini, and the orange completely removes the taste of carrots.
Checked on myself

It's off topic but interesting
-apricots mask the taste of zucchini, and orange completely removes the taste of carrots.

Why off-topic?
Well, yes, it is.

I also like that the marshmallow becomes a little softer and more plastic.

and we have already prepared 12 pallets with different combinations for winter

Well done.

And I've already 4 times 5 pallets, a total of 20 rolls, however, some have already been eaten,
but I think in the season of apples I will make apples + apricots.

By the way, peeled apricots can be sachets and in the freezer (you can even puree right away), and then defrost and make marshmallows.
This is if a lot of apricots come at once.

Thank you for such a detailed recipe. I also think about making a marshmallow, I'll try. I recently bought a dryer. Dried in it only the leaves for tea and apples a little - a volunteer. True, there are no fruits of my own, but I think to buy some for marshmallow. I will try to unsubscribe after.

[Elena]

Elena, have you tried it with pumpkin?
And then you still have to look for such specific zucchini, and pumpkin is an affordable thing, besides, it is sweet and the color is beautiful.

[CurlySue]

CurlySue, we buy apricots :) So at least we would have enough to eat, but cook the jam!

[Olga VB]

Olga VB, I used to make pumpkin - apple - orange, the principle is the same!

Elena, have you tried it with pumpkin?

Olga, thank you!
I haven’t tried it with pumpkin, because this year I am making marshmallow for the first time, and the pumpkin season has not yet begun - it’s not ripe.

But I think, of course, it is possible, according to the same scheme: first boil in sugar syrup, then with a blender ...

Otherwise, look for such specific zucchini,

Or ordinary, light green, I did it with such a portion, I didn't notice much difference, except in color.
And if apricots + zucchini, then just do not see the difference in color.

Thank you for such a detailed recipe. I also think about making a marshmallow, I'll try. I will try to unsubscribe after More details: https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/in...on=com_smf&topic=391280.0

Olga, thank you, we are waiting for your report.
I froze some of the apricots, mashed potatoes, soon there will be apples in full - I will make another apricot + apples.

By the way, apricot + banana came out very tasty and fragrant (about 2: 1)
