2. Homemade plum marshmallows

 

We cook homemade marshmallows only on agar-agar; gelatin will melt in heat and such marshmallows will not retain their shape.

For marshmallows from plums you will need:

400 g pitted plums; 400 g of sugar; 100 ml of water; 11 g of agar-agar; 3 art. l. powdered sugar.

Soak agar-agar in water for an hour. Pour washed and pitted plums with a few tablespoons of sugar in a saucepan, leave for 10 minutes so that the plums release juice. Then put on a slow fire and cook for 20 minutes after boiling water without water. Stir occasionally, do not cover. Remove the plums from the heat, strain through a sieve and pour back into the pan, add 200 g of sugar and boil for 5 minutes. Cool down.

Pour the plum billet into a tall bowl or mixer bowl, turn on the mixer to maximum speed and add the chilled protein. The mass will increase by 2-3 times and become denser.

Pour agar-agar into a saucepan, bring to a boil and add the remaining sugar. Boil the syrup after boiling for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. The temperature of the finished syrup should be 110 degrees, if there is no thermometer, then focus on a thin thread flowing from a spoon. Cool down.

Cover wooden planks with cling film. Start whipping the plum mass at maximum speed, then pour in agar-agar in a thin stream. The mass will become thick, lush. While warm, transfer to a piping bag and pipe marshmallows onto prepared boards. Dry marshmallows for 8-10 hours, then sprinkle with powdered sugar. Glue two marshmallows upside down. Ready!
