Description

Apple pastille
This delicacy was the main snack for the children in the Krasnodar Region at St Michael's pass, where all my life I lived with my grandparents. The farm has always been great, what it just did – from plums, apples, currant! Grandma gave my brother and rolls, pastes or pre-cut strips, and how to give up sweets, which was lovingly prepared especially for the rare arrival of grandchildren? While I don't have their children, treat I decided my niece Barbara, she's Oh what a lover of all berries "from the Bush", although only one and a half years old.

Ingredients

  • Apple

    1500 g

  • Honey

    1 Tbsp

  • Cinnamon

    1 tsp

  • Black currants

    200 g

  • Orange zest

    1 tsp

Cooking

step-0
First prepare the fruit and berries. Here's a crop I brought from our garden
step-1
Varyushka helped to collect, of course...
step-2
Apples I washed and cleansed from the core with seeds, skin and tart, but delicious, and decided to leave it. It's not for everybody.
step-3
In season, we always freeze the compote mixture or just berries. This time I decided to take a handful of black currants, first for color, second for bolder flavor
step-4
Put apples in slow cooker in mode "baking" for 40 minutes. Every 10 minutes drop and stir the mass
step-5
Through the first 10 minutes I added a spoonful of honey, honey we brought from the Urals, from the city of Tchaikovsky, from the village – natural does not happen sweets!
step-6
Also in applesauce you can add cinnamon, orange zest.
step-7
After 30 minutes of Apple sauce get a little cool and replace the skins submersible blender. If no blender, just remove the skins, puree and so fairly homogeneous
step-8
In the bowl multivarki put the currants (defrosting not required), leave for the last 10 minutes, also stirring occasionally so as not burnt. Next, make the same mashed potatoes in a blender. I separated half of the Apple pulp and mixed with currants, to candy a little different in color and taste.
step-9
That it will look like one and the other when the mass has cooled slightly
step-10
Now we need a parchment for baking. Spread fruit puree
step-11
The blade distributed over the surface, the layer thickness must be 4-7mm, if less, the weight just sticks and will crack if thicker, very long time to dry and the fact that not all are well dried, better not to risk it
step-12
Next, leave the puree in the open air to dry in the sun. This process takes about a week. Of course, it all depends on the weather. If this is not possible – use the oven. For the oven: the dried 3-4 hours at a temperature of 100g from the slightly ajar door, then gently release the marshmallow from the parchment. I was helping myself with a knife, was teased, then the candy has already cast itself. If it is not dried out, from the parchment layer it will not leave, if dry – then crack and be like who knows what. Then turn the candy and give another hour to dry the second layer in the oven. Do the same thing and in the open air.
step-13
The finished marshmallows cut with scissors into strips, laid the parchment, rolled into rolls. Store in a paper bag or a covered glass jar. Moreover, this candy can be used for preparation of compotes in the cold season, just add large platelets, dissolve and drink "poured" warm summer sun!
