Airy and delicate strawberry marshmallows are a natural and inexpensive delicacy, and if you put less sugar, then dietary. It is not difficult to prepare it if all proportions are observed.
FOR COOKING IT IS NECESSARY: 200 grams of strawberries, 1 egg white, 300 grams of sugar, 5 grams of agar-agar, vanillin, 75 ml of water, powdered sugar.
For marshmallows, you can take both fresh berries and frozen ones. Suitable not only strawberries, but also blueberries, raspberries, currants. You can use apricots, plums, apples. In this case, we will cook marshmallows from fresh strawberries.
Making a berry base
We clean the berries from the tails and wash thoroughly. Put them in a blender and make a smooth puree. Those without a blender can cut the berries into pieces and boil them in a saucepan with a couple of teaspoons of water until soft, then rub through a fine sieve.
We shift the berry puree into a saucepan, add 100 grams of sugar and cook until it dissolves. On my electric stove it takes 5-7 minutes. The resulting mass is put in the refrigerator. Puree should not just cool, but cool. If it is warm, the marshmallow will not be lush and airy.
Whip
Put exactly 130 grams of cold puree in a bowl. Add the egg white and beat everything until the mass quadruples and turns pale pink. Marshmallow mass should keep its shape well. It will take approximately 10 - 15 minutes.
Cooking syrup
Now we need to cook the syrup with agar-agar. We need a deep saucepan. The syrup after boiling gives abundant foam, so this must be taken into account when choosing a container for cooking. Pour 5 grams of agar-agar, 200 grams of sugar into the pan, add 75 ml of water, mix everything and put on the stove. As soon as the syrup boils, we begin to stir it intensively with a wooden spoon so that nothing burns anywhere. Cook the syrup until it becomes slightly viscous. You can make a test on a soft ball: drop syrup on the table, the drop should not spread, but a ball should turn out.
Mixing
The next two operations must be done at the same time. We turn on the mixer and beat the marshmallow mass, pouring syrup into it in a thin stream. Syrup that has dried to the walls of the pan does not need to be scraped off and put into marshmallows, otherwise there will be lumps in it. Beat the mass with syrup until it becomes so thick that the mixer will be difficult to turn.
Posting
We spread the marshmallow mass in a pastry bag with a tip.
We plant marshmallows in the form of roses on a parchment-covered table or tray. If you want to eat sweets quickly, you should not make too large ones. If time allows, then you can make it thicker.

It is no secret that berries and fruits quickly replace each other in a short summer period. You will not have time to enjoy one, as the time comes for another. Wise housewives freeze them to stretch the pleasure for a whole year.
We put the strawberries in a saucepan (frozen, you can not defrost), pour in a little water. Put on fire, bring to a boil and cook for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and blend with a blender.
We return to the fire and continue to boil on medium heat. I cook for about 15 minutes.
Remove puree from heat and pass through a sieve.
You should get 250 g of puree.
Mix pectin with 50 g of sugar.
Add 150 g of sugar to the puree.
Return to the fire, cook for 2-3 minutes. Add sugar with pectin, stir and cook for about 5 more minutes. Remove from heat and cool completely - to speed up the process, I do it in an ice bath and I advise you :)
Mix 50 g of sugar with agar. We set aside. The remaining 350 g of sugar are mixed with water, put on the stove and cook until boiling. Then, with constant stirring, in a thin stream, pour a mixture of agar-agar and sugar into the boiling syrup. Cook the syrup to a temperature of 110 degrees.
In parallel, add protein to the puree and beat with a mixer until a fluffy mass is obtained.
Without stopping whisking, gradually pour in agar syrup in a thin stream. Whip until a meringue-like mass is obtained.
We shift the mass into a pastry bag with a nozzle and place the marshmallows on parchment paper or a silicone mat.
We leave the marshmallow at room temperature overnight or at least for 5 hours - during this time it should wind and dry.
Sprinkle the marshmallow halves with powdered sugar, then remove from the parchment and connect in pairs.
Happy tea!
One of the brightest, richest and long-awaited summer berries - strawberries today we will use to make homemade marshmallows. This dessert is incredibly transformed with the addition of a bright puree of fresh seasonal fruits! Strawberry marshmallow is colored in an alluring soft pink shade, enriched with a pleasant berry flavor with moderate sweetness and slight sourness. And what an amazing scent it has! No vanilla or spices are needed - the fresh berry copes with the role of flavoring to the fullest.
As in the classic recipe, we use agar-agar to stabilize the shape. We partially leave pectin-rich green apples in the base, the puree of which is traditionally the basic component of this dessert. Do not forget that the main work in the preparation of marshmallows is given to the mixer - here you can not do without a long and high-quality beating, so you need a powerful and proven unit.

Recipe strawberry marshmallows at home:
We take a small saucepan, pour agar-agar into it and pour in water. Leave agar-agar for 1 hour.
Let's make puree. Let's start with apple. In order to get 150 g of puree, we take 300-400 g of apples. Wash the fruits, cut into 2 halves, cut out the core and put on a plate cut down.
We send the apples to the microwave and bake until tender. It will take about 40-50 seconds for 1 half of an apple. If there is no microwave oven, bake apples in the oven.
Transfer the baked apples to a blender and puree.
We wipe the resulting mass through a sieve and evaluate the density of the puree. If the puree turned out to be thick, leave it as it is, but if it is liquid, then the puree needs to be reduced a little.
Now let's prepare the berry puree. We suggest using strawberries, it will give marshmallows a delicate color and a pleasant aroma. If fresh berries are out of season, use frozen ones. For 100 g of strawberry puree, you need to take 250-300 g of berries. Defrost the strawberries and drain the liquid. Grind into puree with a blender or knead with a crush.
We wipe the strawberry puree, pour it into a saucepan and bring to a boil.
In a bowl, mix apple and strawberry puree, add sugar and stir until it is completely dissolved. Let the mixture cool completely.
Let's make syrup. We put the pot with the soaked agar-agar on the fire and bring to a boil. In this case, the solution must be stirred, especially well we pass along the bottom, since the agar can stick. Add sugar to the boiled agar-agar solution and gently mix until it is completely dissolved. It is very important that the sugar is completely dissolved before it boils again.
Cook the syrup, stirring gently to a temperature of 110 C (this is for those who have a food thermometer). If there is no thermometer, then after boiling, cook for about 5 minutes, when you raise the spoon, a thin thread of syrup should follow it, and there will be a thick foam cap on its surface.
In parallel with the preparation of the syrup, you need to start whipping the mashed mixture. Beat conveniently with a stationary mixer, while the mixture is whipped, you can work on the syrup. So let's get started.
Add the egg white to the cooled strawberry puree with sugar and start beating. Beat long enough, about 10 minutes. During this time, the puree mixture should lighten significantly and increase in volume at least several times.
Remove the finished syrup from the heat and pour it into the puree mixture in a trickle, right under the mixer blades. We constantly beat the mass. After adding all the syrup, beat the mixture for another 5-6 minutes, until a very dense and stable mass. At the same time, the marshmallow mass should cool to warm, but its temperature should not be lower than 40 C. Since at this temperature agar-agar already begins to bind the mass.
Put the resulting berry marshmallow mixture into a pastry bag and squeeze a small marshmallow onto baking paper. Leave it at room temperature for at least 8-10 hours. The surface of the marshmallow should be weathered, and the marshmallow itself should be compacted.
Sprinkle the finished strawberry marshmallow with a little powdered sugar and serve.
If desired, 2 halves of marshmallows can be glued together with the bottoms.
