How to make apple candy at home?
Real homemade apple marshmallow is very good for health, as it contains many vitamins and minerals. To prepare it, you need ripe healthy fruits without wormholes and rot. After these are collected, they need to be washed, cut into slices, while removing the core. Then take a pot or pot with a thick bottom, pour water into it so that it covers the bottom exactly one centimeter. You don’t need to pour more, since during cooking, the juice will stand out from the apples, which will not let them burn.
After this, you need to continue cooking pastille from apples, for which the fruits are placed in a cast iron and sent to medium heat. You need to cook until the apples are completely softened. Usually in time it takes 40-120 minutes, depending on the hardness of the fruit and their ripeness. Do not stir apples. As soon as they are welded, they must be removed, cooled, and wiped through a sieve with small cells.
Further, natural apple marshmallows are prepared as follows: the resulting puree, rubbed through a sieve, is laid out in a uniform layer on a plastic wrap (baking paper or oilcloth), laid on a wide board and fixed on it. The layer thickness should be no more than 7 and not less than 4 mm. Too thin a layer in the future may lead to rupture of the marshmallow.
Board with mashed potatoes should be placed on the street. The best for drying pastilles are hot sunny days. However, in windy cloudy weather, it dries quickly enough. The main thing is that there is no rain. So that the pastille does not become damp, it must be brought into the house at night. The willingness of goodies must be determined by its dryness and elasticity. Just do not forget that the middle of the marshmallow always dries longer than its edges.
Dried apple marshmallows should be stored. To keep it fresh as long as possible, it needs to be wrapped in cling film, previously cut into small pieces.
