Magic Farmer Dara

In principle, quince itself has the effect of jelly. But I like the recipe of that Russian pastille more, it is such a voluminous, nice looking color. Yes, and good for health.

There are several options for cooking pastila. Russians know a lot about desserts!

It will take sweet apples and egg white for pastila.

Wash apples, dry, chop, remove the seed box and wormholes. Bake in the oven until cooked. 180 degrees. Cool. Rubbed through a sieve, it changes the structure and gives it lightness. The resulting mixture is punched with a mixer, make a well whipped mashed potatoes. Beat for at least 10 minutes. In a separate bowl, beat the protein.

Then combine the two masses, mashed apples and protein. Then again beat another 10 minutes.

The fifth part is separated from the puree and left in another bowl and put in a cold place.

The remaining part is spread on baking sheets laid out previously by baking paper, in small portions, a layer of mass of about 2 cm. A drying mode is set, the temperature is not higher than 80 degrees. Dry for 5-8 hours with the oven door ajar.

Take out the cakes of their oven after they stop sticking to their hands. Spread the resulting mass on a marble or another table for about two hours for complete cooling.

After cutting the same size of the bars or frozen mass is cut into two parts. One of which is covered with a cold mixture of apple and protein. Overlap each other. Then again put in the oven for 2 hours. After being pulled out and allowed to cool again, already at room temperature. Cut into portions. Pastila is ready.

Shelf life of at least 1 year in the refrigerator. To do this, the pastille must be wrapped in baking paper and put in a bag.

The second option is the one that you make Grandma Makhtab - steaming apples or other fruits, let the mashed potatoes thicken, pass through a sieve, put on a baking sheet and in the oven at 70 degrees, there the mixture dries, layer about a centimeter or 5 mm, dry in the oven 8 ocloc'k. All is ready!

Oh, Dara, laugh! Twice! First time at the expense of the recipe! No, we do not use the oven, we dry everything in the sun. Naturally, old recipes are passed from generation to generation.

Everything is prepared simply, we stew the apples in a pot, on the wood, then we pass the mass through a sieve, whip with a hand mixer. We spread the resulting mass on the stone. So the pastila is dried for two days, one side, two days for the other. We can make pastille from pears, apples, peaches, grapes, mulberries, sea buckthorn, gooseberries, blueberries, blackberries, rosehips, currants.

By the way, we add in our fruit candy and nuts, peeled watermelon and pumpkin seeds, medicinal herbs, it turns out to be both tasty and healthy. We raise our immunity, all teeth and gums are good, there is no sugar! You know, Dara, sugar in the mountains is the currency! You can trade nuts and milk and dry fruits for it. We appreciate sugar! But in everyday food, we use only natural sweets. Where in the mountains in winter you will find a dentist? On the snowy mountain road, which ambulance will arrive? Do we ourselves need to first get to the district center or to the capital?

Therefore, if we eat food without sugar, our teeth and gums are healthy! So I say, little Kamol?

Grandpa Kamol, grinned, little Kamol? You are confusing something dear Grandma Mahtab, I am already 65 years old!

For me, you will always be little Kamol, I still remember you as a boy ...

Yes, yes, well, Grandma, you're right!

Yes, that's right, sugar is to blame! From it, and blood glucose rises, and the liver collapses, and the gums deteriorate, not to mention the caries in the teeth!

Well, now you understand, Dara!

The second time you made a mistake on the bill of electricity! Where do we have electricity in the village? Yes, that is still constantly, as you have in the city 24 hours a day. Well, if in the summer, there are 12 hours, and in the winter, in general, about three or four hours. Gas no. Only a propane tank, and we drown with firewood, charcoal, and therefore environmentally friendly products!

Well, we can pave a small hydro installation for energy generation to the village, just below you pass a mountain river with a very fast current. Installation of the entire cost of $ 3000, or put the helio station for homes 2 kilowatt hours costs about $ 2500 if you take the Chinese equipment.

Maybe we will come to a grant for financing an ecological village? But, immediately get funding will not work. Apparently it will be easier for Grandma Makhtab to supply solar batteries or conduct electricity from a small hydro power station to the whole village?

It will generate 5 kilowatts per hour, the issue price is $ 1,000 plus $ 4,000 with delivery and installation from China. The Chinese can bring a small station after 5 days ...

Yes, and their representation is in our city, as well as a warehouse. So it's quite possible to pay for the delivery not $ 2,500, but only $ 500, but nothing can be done with the installation, you have to pay all $ 1,500.

What do Grandma Mahtab think?

Electricity is always good! If you can, do it! Say the whole village thank you so much! Let's help with what we can! We have a little money, but we will give something! All the residents of the village will help you more eagerly! This is a very good thing for people! You will be reckoned for your soul!

Baraz, what do you think?

What a good idea! I think, Mr. Colonel, can help?

Yes, no problem! I will throw money, and people are, if necessary, they themselves will bring and put micro-electricity? As I did not think of it myself!

Well done Baraz, Good idea Dara! Let's make "hashar" and the whole world, who can help with what!

Mr. Colonel, maybe then, you will take everything in your hands? Offered Dara!

Good! I know a lot about management!

Then, for my part, I will transfer part of the money to my account and send off contacts, and you are already Mr. Colonel, will you decide everything yourself with the installation?

No question, Gap nest! I think if there are no surprises, then for a week we will manage! I'll ask my management guys to get connected, they'll be applying for a grant. Good, this is the right thing! Grant! I looked in the iPhone, we still have time to submit an application, and the grant itself will be distributed if we pass the competition in the summer! Maybe we can help other mountain villages?

Yes, great, bravo, there were voices of the audience.

Well, okay, this is an important and necessary thing, but for now, let's show Dara what we have prepared for him. He came from the city for this!

...

Grandma Mahatab led everyone to her courtyard ... its was big, 12 ar, fruit trees covered with snow and a little far away, a stone house. It had five rooms. One storage room, winter kitchen, two small bedrooms and a living room. In the mountains, having big houses is not convenient. They are difficult to heat in the winter, it is difficult to clean the snow from the roof, and if not clean, it will collapse.

Surprisingly, the walls in the house were a meter and a half thick, the stone was in front, and inside there were bricks made of clay and straw burned in the sun. They gave warmth to the house, in winter and cool in summer. The floor was wooden. Carpets, woven cloths hung on the walls, they created not only comfort, but also kept warm.

In the living room there was a thick carpet, on which on three sides lay warm quilts, covered with velvet, there were several of them, one on the other.

In the center stood a large and low wooden, carved table, covered with a simple oilcloth, on which were located beautiful faience and porcelain dishes.

They contained the products that Grandma Mahtab wanted to show Dara ...
