Sugar Free Plum Jelly
If you don’t like desserts that are too sweet, try making sugar-free plum candy. It can be served with tea or complemented with meat dishes - for example, game.
You will need:
- 1 kg drain;
- vegetable oil.
Rinse any plum, halve, remove seeds. Put the fruits in a cooking bowl. Add a little water and simmer the plums until they are soft. Then cool the plums a little and wipe them through a sieve along with the juice that has formed. Put the mashed potatoes again in the pan and, stirring, cook until it halves in volume.
Line rectangular baking dishes with parchment paper soaked in calcined vegetable oil. Put the pastille in the sun to dry. After 3-4 days, when the mass hardens, remove the pastille with paper and dry it on the board in the sun.
Pastille can be dried in the shade. If you want to speed up the process, dry in the oven.
When the product hardens so much that it can be rolled into a tube and not broken at the same time, the paste is ready for use. It can be cut into strips or rhombs, rolled up and sprinkled with powdered sugar.
