It is also good as a filling for pies or layers in sponge cakes.
Let's get acquainted with some practical tips that will help to prepare this yummy correctly.
Для приготовления пастилы фрукты можно натереть or cook them purees (then the pastilles will be thinner). A more even pallet is obtained, the mass for which is prepared with a blender. Quickly oxidized fruits, such as pears or apples, are recommended to be pre-cooked and cooled. Cooking mashed potatoes is preferable from overripe fruit. In the mass for the pastille, honey or sugar is optionally added. You can not sweeten at all, preserving the natural taste of fruits, which is quite real, if the dryer produces Isidri dryer.

To avoid this, it is recommended to combine the berries with some kind of fruit. Then the marshmallow probably will not be fragile and, moreover, in this way it is possible to reduce the number of seeds in it.
The tray should be lightly oiled.Otherwise, sticking of pastila is possible. When smearing the mass on the pallet, try to have a thinner layer in the middle than at the edges. For the Snackmaker FD500 pallet it is recommended to use no more than 1 cup of mashed potatoes, for Ultra FD1000 - no more than 2 glasses. The smaller the applied mass, the thinner the candy and the faster it will be prepared. Avoid getting mashed potatoes on the base of the dehydrator, as this may damage it.
In the process of preparation of marshmallow apparatuspreferably not to move. The drying time is on average from 12 to 16 hours. The marshmallow is considered finished when it stops sticking in the center of the pan. The exception is the product of berries or bananas. Such a candy can stick slightly.
The finished product is removed from the pallet in the heatcondition, rolled into a tube and cooled. Store lozenges preferably in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This method helps to keep it for quite a long time.
