Instructions
Step 1
Wash the berries and place them in the freezer for two days to rid them of any excess bitterness. Place them on a baking sheet and place in the oven at 100 ° C for two hours. During this time, they will become soft.
Step 2
Rub the baked mountain ash through a sieve and pour hot sugar syrup into the berry puree. Place the container on low heat and cook for an hour, whisking the solution constantly with a whisk. Line a baking sheet with baking paper and pour the boiled berry solution over it.
Step 3
Dry the rowan marshmallow in the oven at 70 ° C for 24 hours. Check the drying process periodically, the pastilles should not overheat and caramelize. Cut the finished marshmallow into pieces and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Store it in a closed container in a cool place.
Step 4
Rowan pastila can be prepared in a different way, not drying it in the oven, but in a natural way. To do this, transfer the berries ripened in the frost to a refractory pan, cover tightly and send to bake in the oven at 50 degrees for 5 hours. During this time, the berries will become soft. Transfer them to a basin and fill with hot water so that it completely covers the mountain ash.
Step 5
Boil the berries for half an hour over low heat with constant stirring. Rub them through a sieve, add an equal volume of sugar to the resulting berry puree and cook over low heat until thickened. Stir constantly to prevent the puree from burning. The readiness of the marshmallow is determined by how easily it begins to separate from the bottom of the pelvis.
Step 6
Moisten a porcelain dish with cold water and put the berry mass on it in an even layer. Place the dish in a warm place for 3 days. Cut the finished marshmallow into pieces and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Best of all, this marshmallow retains its properties at a temperature not exceeding 10 ° C.
