FRUIT PUREE PASTILA

Sweets don't always have to be sweet or high in calories. An excellent example is a handmade Pastila (a traditional Russian fruit confectionery). This is a treat for everyone – for health-conscious moms, snack-loving dads, and sweet tooth kids.

Baby puree allows for a natural base and saves your valuable time, making the process easy and enjoyable.

Ingredients:

PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Put the puree in a saucepan and add sugar. Depending on desired consistency, the cooking time can be adjusted: a fairly thick solution should be heated for 3 minutes until the sugar is completely dissolved, while thinner solutions should heat until slightly thick
2. Next, prepare a place to dry your future Pastila. Cover a pan or grate with wax paper and grease it with a thin layer of vegetable oil. Pour your solution from the saucepan into the pan or grate.
3. Put the dessert in the oven. The oven should be preheated to 80-90 degrees Celsius. Heat the Pastila on a top rack in the oven with the door ajar for 3-4 hours, checking consistency periodically.
4. As soon as your Pastila no longer sticks to your hands, you can take it out. It is important not to overheat the Pastila, which makes it rubbery.
5. Your sweet can then be sprinkled with powdered sugar and you can give it your desired shape: cut into cubes, twist into a tube, etc.
