Anyone who cooks marshmallows knows that the basis is applesauce (from antonovka - ideally) from green apples, because they contain more pectin than others, and this is important for marshmallows. There is no pectin in persimmons! Therefore, this fruit will be mixed with applesauce. And there will be nuts! No, no, no... Of course, nuts do not carry any load for the marshmallow base. This is a delicious addition and "unusual" for marshmallows. You eat soft marshmallows and stumble upon pieces of nuts. They also decorate the top of the marshmallow. Such an airy and useful gift can be made to your dear people. And there are still a lot of reasons ahead!
Instructions
- Prepare applesauce: cut the apples in half, remove the tails, core, lay the slices down and bake until soft. Whisk with a blender together with the zest. WIPE through a sieve. If the puree is liquid, then the puree should be boiled, evaporating excess moisture. Mashed apples make the most delicious!
- At the same time, put the syrup to boil. Mix agar-agar, sugar and water. Cook, stirring constantly (agar may fall out and stick to the bottom!) up to 110 degrees. If without a thermometer, then to the state of a "thread": when a spoon with syrup is lifted, it flows down in a continuous thin trickle, and the last drops are slightly delayed and hang on the spoon.
- By the time the syrup reaches the desired temperature, the puree with protein should already be whipped! Pour the syrup in a thin stream without stopping the mixer. Continue to beat the mass until a fluffy white mass is obtained. In this marshmallow, I added 2 drops of orange dye to give color at this stage.
