Pastila - how to cook?

Thank you, Tanyusha

And I really liked the sorrel candy with mint. I started making it first, as I bought the Rotor dryer, last summer. I gathered an armful of wild sorrel, washed it, cut it a little, added sugar, mint leaves, and then chopped it with a blender and put it in the dryer. All that turned out in an instant
It is a pity that I received Isidri late, I am already flying with sorrel this summer, I have become hard.

[Tramp72]

Tramp72, I didn’t know that sorrel can be eaten not in soup. I don’t even know what kind of magic marshmallow is it?

AlKA, after your photos I know what to strive for. And without sugar, how long do you keep the marshmallow? You even have a cut of a work of art, it's like carving!

Admin.Yes, you know the purchase is a riddle. I bought a dryer after I tried a purchased one, when after an illness I could not eat anything, but I wanted something sweet, she helped me out, and then the forum helped again! e
I took photos today.

1) Purchased apple cider. Ingredients: apples. Very pliable and not sweet. I think baked.

2) Purchased apricot. Ingredients: apricot puree.
Even more plastic, it tastes like a concentrated apricot, sweet and sour.

3) Mine from raw apricots and no sugar. Like glass is tough

I dry on medium mode, check with my finger for stickiness and start to remove from the sheet, in some places it sticks to the bottom and I remove it carefully and dry it without a pallet. Pure soft blueberries come out, and baked red apricots and apples are very thin and tough, you need to dissolve in your mouth. What am I doing wrong?

I didn’t know that you can eat sorrel outside the soup.

As far as possible! And even very tasty!

Natural sorrel, in olive oil (for storage in the freezer) (Admin)

Sorrel pasta in olive oil, with avocado and parmesan cheese (Admin)

And not only that - we go to the BILLETS section

Sikorka, I believe that it can be stored for a long time, but I don't have it for more than two years, it just gets eaten. And even then, apple, I have a lot of it, and the rest is less, so it leaves faster. I store it under vacuum lids VACS or in the freezer. But what you are doing wrong is hard to say. It seems that I do so too. Apples probably depend on the variety. I mainly make from white filling, it is malleable, I make it from raw, although from baked one it would probably be tastier. But I have large volumes and to be honest, I am too lazy to bake apples. But from autumn apples, if made, they are hard, and as Admin-Tanya says, it will be brittle candy, so autumn varieties need to be baked. But delicious. And apricot is always very soft, I don't even understand why you have glass. It turns out like a thinly dried jam, or something. I shoot, like you, in some places it can stick, but this is if it is not dried. And also from raw apricots. Once I made an apricot with the addition of zucchini, so I boiled the zucchini in sugar syrup, and then twisted it together with the apricot. All the same, apricot sourness is obtained, even from sweet varieties, it is better to add a banana, it makes marshmallow more plastic.

AlKA, what a wonderful marshmallow you have, I never did it.

[AlKA]

AlKA, in the hands of the master, any marshmallow will be a work
I wrapped it in plastic and sent the top one to the refrigerator.
And today I will dry cherries, tomorrow apricots. Is cherry plastic?
I thought of adding Jerusalem artichoke syrup instead of sugar. It seems to be useful and not sugar.

It seems to be useful and not sugar

And what is written on the label, what is the composition?

[Admin]

Admin, composition: Jerusalem artichoke, water.

Something, somehow We also sell this, I especially read the composition

[Admin]

Admin, What is it like?
Now there are a lot of slings on sale and our type of Jerusalem artichoke and western ones with agave and carob. And the fashion for organic food and it seems that they are talking.

[Sikorka]

Sikorka, well, I'm somehow cautious about various additives that I don't know, including the composition
We have a diet section. goods - I will look at the opportunity, read, smell

I often prefer the simplest sugar, but in smaller quantities - and the taste of the preparations is better, tastier

[sorrel for pies and pies]

and did not know that sorrel can be eaten outside of soup

How so ?!

And have you ever tried sorrel-filled pies ?!

I haven't tried it either Govinda does not order me but solely because of personal cockroaches in my head ...


I, sorrel for pies and pies and prepare for the winter, my family adores fried cottage cheese dough pies with such a filling ... and any other pies and pies with sorrel are also welcomed with a bang !!!

And we just poured the prepared dough for the pie on a baking sheet, sprinkled it with fresh coarsely chopped sorrel a lot, sprinkled it a bit with sand on top, and covered it with a thin layer of dough on top - and TASTE in the oven!
Apple Pie Taste! If you do not see the green sorrel inside, then the apples feel sour with sugar

Apple Pie Taste!

And mine assure that it looks like a strawberry !!!

[Inna]

Inna, well, maybe strawberry.In any case, a very pleasant sour taste is obtained
There will be an opportunity - I recommend everyone the sorrel pie, just don’t skimp on its amount in the pie

And mine assure that it looks like a strawberry

They assure you. Shavel with sugar, well, strawberries, strawberries .. In childhood, I ate such a "salad" ...
I was puzzled by the marshmallow .. It looks like there will be a lot of apples again .. I went and read in the book by G. Poskrebysheva, how to make it, this marshmallow. She writes that you can boil berries with a minimum amount of sugar, you can do without it .. And she dries it for 2-3 days very thinly pouring it onto foil or parchment ..

I just thought, what if the churchkhela is dried in isidri? And to make it not from grape juice, but, for example, from gooseberry ... Or red currant ... This is my red currant marshmallow dries now, and I tore one sheet into pieces, without waiting for complete drying, and wrapped it in these pieces Walnuts. It tasted exactly like churchkhela

if churchkhela is dried in isidri?

We dry and place with a new author's recipe - we are also interested

And in the breeze somebody was drying
The neighbor gives the gooseberry. Mix it? I usually dry in the oven. Made from viburnum. Dried for 2 days. There was a stench. Even the neighbors fled.

Do you need to change pallets with marshmallows during drying (rearrange from top to bottom)?
I left it overnight, and in the morning the bottom 2 are dry and everything else is not ready

Do you need to change pallets with marshmallows during the drying process?

I changed ...

[Crochet]

Crochet,
Thank you!

Dried pastilles blueberries and cherries 50/50. They ate everything, did not even have time to photograph.
Cherries are very sweet and give plasticity. Now they are bringing me blueberries. Here I think how to turn it into a marshmallow. Pure blueberries or mix with something neutral, but so as not to hamper the taste. A cucumber or a squash, or maybe pure blueberries? A neighbor made an apricot and a cucumber also without sugar. So speaks with a cucumber softly, the taste is delicate.

Good day. steamed the gooseberries. Rubbed a lot of liquid through a sieve. Add apples

dark - gooseberry, lighter - cherry

Strawberries, blueberries and blueberries. Empirically, I found that blueberries can hardly be preserved in the same tasty condition, jam or pie or compote, in my opinion, kills its unusualness. Freezing is also not ice. But the young lady from Irkutsk, grated with sugar, suggested that this is how it is harvested.

Very beautiful rolls, and they smell delicious

[Sikorka]

Sikorka, is there only berry + sugar? Is it not liquid before drying?

[Admin]

Admin, Thank you! Doesn't smell))) I've already sent them for storage in the refrigerator
Albina, sugarless. Yes, it is liquid.Sugar strawberries by themselves, I advise you to add sugar to blueberries or stir with apples.
Blueberries are incomprehensible, as if the center is like wine. Although I put a good berry. Maybe you just can't dry it yourself ...

I already sent them for storage in the refrigerator

Well, wait - we'll see how long it will last "odorless" in the refrigerator. Is the castle hanging?

[Admin]

Admin, The husband does not favor. There is no castle, the main thing is not to eat it before winter.
AdminHow do you think the minimum amount of sugar is needed for plasticity? A couple of spoons? And then I look at some pours and pours.
I mostly watch videos on YouTube, I enjoy the process.

[Sikorka]

Sikorka, sugar individually, at will, in order to obtain only some plasticity
Yes, the process is interesting

I can't evenly distribute the mass of pulped apples and apricots, I even diluted it with water, I doubt the correctness of this act.
It turns out the leaf is stained and cracks. How do you distribute and how much can you pour on the sheet (I have isidri 500)?

And I never manage to beautifully remove a sheet of marshmallow - it sticks and breaks. It tastes great, but the appearance is horrible, torn pieces.
And I smear the sheet well, and I tried to overexpose and almost to hold it, everything is useless, it turns out all the same ugly.

The girls, Julia and Larisa, don't even know what to tell you.
Now I'll try to insert a couple of old photos, maybe this will help you)))
I certainly never added water, it will only add drying time.
And I didn't really try to level it. I pour out 3 ladles on a pallet, somehow spread it with a teaspoon, and that's it.
oil is also quite a bit, I use a paper napkin. The density of the mass can be seen in the pictures. You should put less in the middle, because it dries worse there, but I abuse it)), then of course it dries longer, you need to change the trays in places. In the pictures, where the strawberries are, you can see that the surface is uneven at first, then during the drying process it evens itself out and becomes smooth. There were no spots and holes ((I roll the layer into a roll immediately on the tray and hot / warm, I showed such a photo before. I quickly cut everything into a board and cut it into small rolls with warm ones, I don't even cut it, but I saw it with a knife for a steak. such a knife can be bread.




















The green mass is zucchini boiled in sugar syrup, drained the syrup, twisted the zucchini.

[AlKA]

AlKA, I have an aesthetic ecstasy of beauty.
Any work is good in the hands of a master.

[Alla]

Alla, THANKS for the demonstration performance - very clearly visible!

But I tried to make churchkhela. The filling is made of walnuts and sun-dried gooseberries, and the shell is made of lemon squash syrup. Dried two days at 55 degrees, but remained sticky. Probably, the syrup was too sweet or there was not enough flour. And the rest - the taste of a real churchkhela forgotten since childhood! This is perhaps the tastiest thing I've tried in a dryer before! Now I will make from cherry juice. Even my husband persuaded me to build a special device so that it would be convenient to hang threads on it for flowing around and intermediate drying.

But I tried to make churchkhela

, Wow! It is similar in shape to what is sold in the south. My sister treated me to (brought me from vacation), but she was such incredible disgusting, just oversweetened rubber. Oh, do not be offended, I am not for comparison, for sure you have something wrong. I want to try to make yours if there is a recipe, otherwise I can’t even imagine how. I was very interested in such sweetness

It was not necessary to try the one that is being sold in large quantities. I was treated to homemade churchkhela when I was visiting Tskhinvali. This is um ... yum! Then, no matter how much I tried to buy in stores or markets - impressions are similar to yours: sweet rubber
And I made my own 14 threads, and half crumpled myself, barely waiting for it to dry out at least a little
I don't even know about the recipe, I did everything by eye ...

I don't even know about the recipe, I did everything by eye

At least approximately the principle itself. I really want to try a normal one, but I really want to do it.

Well, I'll do a cherry, I'll try to write something down.

[natushka]

natushka, the forum has a wonderful recipe for churchkhella

Girls! I don't have an electric dryer ... there is a lot ... but there is no dryer! And I did, for not at all expensive, for some reason I didn't buy it. I'm sorry, of course, but it's fixable! Now they have made it out of wooden blocks, here is such a device. And so that the wasps and all sorts of insects did not touch the marshmallow, I sewed it from a net for windows, such as a tent. It is ventilated from all sides. Now dries on the street in a few days, apple marshmallow.

Delicious honeysuckle marshmallow. The berries themselves did not please with the taste - it was somehow blurry. I threw it into Isidri, adding a little sugar, it turned out that this marshmallow was the most delicious. Made from currants with banana additives, gooseberries with orange and apple.

[Piano]

Piano, Elena, Thanks for the link. Only it will be necessary to replace the grape juice with some other, plum juice do you think? This year there are a lot of plums, although for some reason it still does not ripen, it was already in July. Year or something like this (zucchini, cucumbers planted three times, do not grow)

[Medunika]

Medunika, Doesn't honeysuckle taste bitter? Otherwise, I can't eat it either, the jam even tastes bitter for me and is ground with sugar.

It didn't taste bitter for me, though I dried it from the freezer. Maybe this is the case? But it took a very long time to dry.

Cool thought up! And the main thing is that although it dries longer, it doesn’t hit the counter. Can you see how the shelves themselves are made? Are they made of solid plywood or is there some kind of grill? I would also adopt such a design - soon we will move to a place where there is basically no light.

Eh, I have no room for such a bookcase ... I just put a pallet in an old pillowcase and hang it on the balcony.
