How to make cherry puree for marshmallows. Cherry marshmallows on agar-agar. How to make marshmallows

I made cherry marshmallows at home from frozen cherries, of which you need about 400 - 500 grams, for 150 grams of puree. I’ll say right away that making it from apples is much easier and faster, and if you are a beginner, it’s made from apples. But if you have already made it at least a couple of times and want a variety of tastes, then try this option.

I describe the recipe for how to make marshmallows at home as clearly and in detail as possible, so that everyone can easily repeat it, and if you still have questions, I will answer them in the comments.

Next, I’ll tell you in detail how to make marshmallows at home and what they are made from so that they turn out right. I also recommend looking at it, which is made using a similar method, but even faster due to the fact that apple puree is whipped with protein much faster.

Ingredients:

  • Cherry puree – 150 g
  • Sugar – 130 g
  • Egg white – 1 pc.

Syrup:

  • Sugar – 170 g
  • Water – 100 ml.
  • Invert syrup – 80 g
  • Agar-agar – 6 g

How to make marshmallows at home

I start the recipe for cherry marshmallows on agar by preparing the puree itself. My cherries are frozen, so first I take them out of the freezer and let them defrost completely. After that, I take out the seeds, leaving only the pulp. I transfer the berries into a saucepan and put them on the fire; there is no need to add water, as there will be plenty of juice.

I boil them until the berries are soft for about 30 minutes. Next, I transfer it to a colander to drain all the excess liquid.

Now the most difficult task to make marshmallows with cherries is to grind the berries through a sieve so that there is only puree. I spent quite a lot of time on this stage. It should be exactly 150 grams. I transfer it to a saucepan and add sugar. I mix all this and put it on fire. As soon as the sugar dissolves, remove from heat.

Transfer the resulting mass into a small bowl, cover with cling film and place in the refrigerator overnight. During this time the mass will become thicker.

In the morning I continue making marshmallows at home. Pour the thick cherry mixture into the mixer bowl and add the egg white. Then I beat everything with a mixer, starting at low speeds and gradually increasing them to the highest speeds. Intervals for increasing are approximately 20 seconds.

While the mixer is running, you can begin to prepare the syrup, but keep in mind that whipping may take 20 - 30 minutes. And in the apple version, 7 minutes was enough. Pour water into a saucepan, add sugar, invert syrup and agar-agar. I don’t pre-soak it, as it dissolves only at high temperatures. I put the pan on the fire and cook, stirring all the time, to a temperature of 110 degrees. Be sure to check the temperature, as it is impossible to determine it accurately by looking at it, and this may affect the result.

At this point the cherry mixture became much thicker, although it took quite some time.

The syrup has reached a temperature of 110 degrees, so I remove it from the heat and immediately pour it in a thin stream into the mixer bowl, without stopping whisking. Make sure that the syrup does not get on the beaters or sides of the bowl. You shouldn’t try to pour out every last drop, and do it quickly so that it doesn’t harden ahead of time.

After pouring in, I beat for a couple more minutes. As a result, the marshmallow mixture turns out dense and holds its shape. Remember that agar hardens at a temperature of 40 degrees, so you need to prepare in advance a pastry bag with a nozzle and a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment for depositing marshmallows.

That's the whole basic recipe for how to make marshmallows at home, all that remains is to transfer all the cherry mass into a pastry bag, I did this in two approaches. Take an open or closed star nozzle with a larger diameter. I don’t have a big one, so I used a nozzle with not very pronounced teeth, as a result of which the stripes on the marshmallows themselves weren’t very clear.

Now I place the marshmallows on a silicone mat, after which I leave it to harden. This takes about 12 hours, after which it will cease to be sticky on top and will become covered with a thin film that does not stick to your fingers.

After some time, I glue all the halves together with pieces of suitable size and roll them in powdered sugar. Here is a simple recipe for marshmallows at home, I advise you to use it.

Now about how to store homemade marshmallows on agar. It can be stored in an airtight container for up to two weeks. Thanks to the invert syrup in the composition, it does not become sugary and remains just as tasty throughout this time.

This is how I made my own pink marshmallows at home. It is very tasty, with a pleasant cherry flavor and light sourness. I advise you to make it too, as you can see, even from frozen berries it will turn out right. Enjoy your meal!


Of course, it all started with marshmallows according to GOST, a recipe that Chadeika has on her blog. Through numerous experiments, I hasten to share the proportions of taste and quality that currently suit me very much. Since marshmallows are still a sweet dessert, I wanted to use a sour berry and at the same time reduce the amount of sugar and give up apples. I did not get such a result from ready-made puree for confectioners. But it came from whole frozen cherries bought at the store.

So...
1 package of frozen whole pitted cherries 400 g (defrost, drain the juice and weigh out 250 g)
200 g sugar
1 egg white of the first category
For the syrup:
160 ml water
8 g agar agar
150 g glucose
230 sugar

Thaw the cherries in a sieve to drain the juice.
In a tall glass, use an immersion blender to puree the cherries, weigh, and add a little juice if necessary. I don’t put it through a sieve; marshmallows taste better with veins in the berries. Heat a little, 30 seconds in the microwave and add sugar
.
In the bowl of a mixer, start beating the warm puree with sugar, for a couple of minutes so that the sugar dissolves faster, add the egg whites, and beat until the mass triples or quadruples.

While the mixture is whipping, immediately add the syrup. First, bring the water and agar to a boil, stirring, then add sugar and glucose. And cook, stirring until 110 C.


Remove the syrup from the heat, wait a little until the boiling stops and begin to slowly pour the syrup into the cherry mass. Beat for 5 minutes, the mass will increase in size even more and become denser and whiter. You can check the readiness by stopping the mixer and using a spoon to make a groove; it should not close. Or visually the mass on the whisk is tight.


Here is the result, the bowl is almost full and dense.
Now we need to work quickly. Transfer the mixture into a pastry bag and place on mats.






It is better to use a bag 55-60 cm. One serving. Well, or two less.
It is better to use a nozzle with an open or closed star 15-17 mm, and I do not recommend using a smaller nozzle or roses, the grooves from the roses will weather and the taste of the marshmallow will become rubbery.
Try to lay them out plump so that you can feel the soufflé inside.
Leave the marshmallows to air overnight. In the morning, combine the halves and roll in powdered sugar, then shake off the excess through a sieve.
And this result is difficult to achieve with a hand mixer.
Store in the refrigerator in a container with a tight lid.

  • 20min 20min Desserts I would like to draw your attention to the fact that this marshmallow cream can be used at home both for coating cake layers and for decorating muffins, for example. The thicker the consistency of the cream you need, the longer it needs to be kept in the refrigerator (from 15 minutes to 1.5 hours on average). You can use either white or pink marshmallows. And if you wish, you can take food coloring and tint the cream with any color. Marshmallow 250 g. Sour cream 0.5 cup. Butter 180 g. You only need 3 ingredients to make this simple marshmallow cream recipe in your kitchen. First of all, you need to grind the marshmallows a little, cutting them into cubes. Place it in a deep bowl, add about 50 grams of butter. Place in a water bath or microwave. The marshmallows and butter should melt a little and become soft. Using a mixer, start beating them until smooth. Gradually add the remaining softened butter, continuing to beat. Now you need to put the bowl in the refrigerator so that the marshmallow cream at home cools down a little. After 15-20 minutes, beat again and add sour cream in small portions. Place the finished cream back in the refrigerator. To coat the cakes, 15 minutes of cooling is enough, and for the cream to hold its shape well - 1-2 hours.
  • 20min 1140min Desserts Here is a very tasty and healthy dessert. Marshmallow is prepared using agar-agar. This natural gelatin is practically not absorbed by our body, but it gives a feeling of fullness and speeds up metabolism. Agar-agar, unlike gelatin, must be boiled. You need to work with it quickly, as it hardens already at 40 degrees. This is its only drawback, which turns into an advantage: dishes with it do not melt at room temperature.
    I made marshmallows for the first time in my life. I always thought that this was a difficult process that I couldn’t do, but it was interesting to try. And I did it! So don’t put this recipe off for a long time, try it now! Have fun in the kitchen!
    Apple jam 250 g. Protein 1 pc. Agar-agar 4 tsp. Water 150 ml. Sugar 400 g. Vanillin 1 chips.
    Be sure to prepare a work surface for pipetting marshmallows and a piping bag in advance. Line two baking sheets with baking parchment. Because then you won’t have enough time for this, because agar-agar hardens quite quickly at room temperature. Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Soak agar-agar in cold water for an hour. Then bring the mixture to a boil. Add sugar and vanillin, stir, bring to a boil and simmer for 5-10 minutes over low heat until a thin thread trails behind a spoon removed from the syrup, which hardens quickly. Remove syrup from heat. Beat apple jam with egg whites until fluffy and light, for 5 minutes. While whisking, add the hot syrup in a thin stream. Beat for 7 minutes until the mixture holds its shape. Fill a piping bag with the warm mixture and quickly pipe the marshmallows onto the parchment paper. I got 52 halves for two baking sheets. Let the baking sheets with marshmallows harden in a dry place for 1 day. Then sprinkle the marshmallows with powdered sugar, fold in 2 halves and serve. Bon appetit!
  • 20min 780min Desserts According to this recipe, you can prepare marshmallows with other berries and fruits: for example, currants, raspberries or apples. Classic marshmallows are made with apples, from which puree is made. But strawberry marshmallows are lighter, and if you add less sugar, they will also be lower in calories. Strawberry 200 g. Egg white 1 pc. Sugar 300 g. Agar-agar 5 g. Vanillin to taste Water 75 g. Powdered sugar to taste Using a blender, puree the strawberries. Add 100 grams of sugar, put the mixture on low heat. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the sugar melts, do not forget to stir. Cool the resulting syrup by placing it in the refrigerator. Then separate exactly 130 grams from the cooled syrup, add the egg white (also chilled), beat with a mixer for 10-15 minutes until the mass turns light pink. Place the remaining syrup on low heat again, add agar-agar, 200 grams of sugar and 75 ml of water. Stirring, cook until the syrup thickens to the point that a drop of syrup can be rolled into a ball (and it should not lose its shape). Stir with a wooden spoon quite vigorously. Pour syrup into the mixture whipped with egg whites in a stream. Whisk until the mixture becomes very thick. This is what the finished marshmallow mass looks like. Scoop the mixture into a pastry bag. Squeeze future marshmallows in the form of roses onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. You can dry the marshmallows in the room at normal temperature, this will take about 12 hours. Then the marshmallows should easily separate from the parchment. Sprinkle the finished marshmallows with powdered sugar. This is such a beautiful strawberry marshmallow. Enjoy your tea!
  • 20min 60min Desserts That's why I also follow trends and try to “work miracles” in the confectionery field. One of the main principles here is to properly decorate a cake, pastry or something similar. In this regard, I suggest you learn how to make marshmallow mastic. A great thing to effectively serve dessert. Powdered sugar 350 g. Marshmallow 3 pcs. Lemon juice 1 tbsp. Microwave the marshmallows for 1 minute until they double in size. Mix the softened mass well. Sift powdered sugar into it and also add lemon juice. Stir the mixture until it thickens. Transfer the mastic to a table sprinkled with powdered sugar. Knead the elastic mass. Leave it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Then start decorating.
