The tradition of making apple marshmallows has been preserved in Belevo for centuries. The flaky and airy lozenge, recognized in almost all countries of the world, was invented by the famous merchant Ambrosy Pavlovich Prokhorov, whose granddaughter Olga Nikolaevna Prokhorova still lives and lives on the outskirts of Belev. There was a legend in the Prokhorov family, as if three centuries ago their distant ancestor from Belev carried bast to the future St. Petersburg. For his diligence, Peter I gave him 5 thousand in silver. With these funds, Prokhorov bought land along the banks of the Oka River for the construction of warehouses and for planting an apple orchard - planting a thousand Antonovkas. The family's fortune came from the discovery of the fire method of drying fruits and vegetables, which, in accordance with very profitable contracts, were often supplied to the needs of the Russian army. Olga Nikolaevna said that in their house they always loved baked apples and at one point they baked so many of them that you couldn’t eat them right away. Moreover, we missed the moment of readiness. The household and servants began to decide what to do with the apple porridge.

Someone suggested combining it with sugar and whipped egg whites and drying it later. Prosaic practicality gave a hint that in this form the product could be stored even longer. The owner of the house, Ambrosy Pavlovich, became interested in the offer. There was an abundance of apple porridge, no protein was spared, and the apple slices were dried, later glued together with the raw mass, and an unusual delicacy came out. At that time it was 1890 in Russia. Two years later, Prokhorov's apple marshmallow, called Belevskaya, won its first medal at the St. Petersburg horticulture exhibition. The merchant's products began to be readily accepted in almost all towns of the Russian Federation. Ambrose Prokhorov kept his stores in Moscow and St. Petersburg, in Kyiv and at a large station siding in Sukhinichi. Even in Paris, in a small shop there was a trade in Belevsky marshmallows, delivered from a small town in the distant Tula province. Three years before the start of the October Revolution, the Prokhorovsky store was opened in Tbilisi.

Belevskaya marshmallow instantly conquered the discerning taste of the inhabitants of almost all European capitals. Before the revolution, marshmallow was supplied to the table of high-ranking persons not only in Russia, but also in France, Spain, Italy, Bulgaria, and Georgia. The best marshmallow comes only from Antonovka, which contains up to 15% dry matter. To produce Belev marshmallow, only birch firewood is needed. Antonovka is baked on a copper baking sheet and the entire technological process is strictly observed. It is painstaking and very labor-intensive. But every personal master of pastille production understands in advance: the risk turns out generously. In addition, Belevskaya marshmallow has stood the test of time and has become a part of the cultural and state heritage of the Tula province. Moreover, having glorified the merchant family, it brought the once resounding fame to old Belev, which is timidly reflected by its cathedrals, domes and belfries of two monasteries in the waters of the Oka for 857 years.

Belevskaya marshmallow, or as it is also called - Prokhorovskaya, has been a leader at various exhibitions more than once. It became known back in 1888, when Ambrose Prokhorov, the owner of apple orchards, wanted to make money on them and discovered the creation of marshmallows. The dessert captured the love of gourmets and began to be supplied to almost all countries, and the merchant Prokhorov opened his stores in huge towns. But in 1918, his property was nationalized, and only during the NEP did his son Nikolai Prokhorov return his father’s creation by opening the Prokhorov and Sons store in Moscow. But they tried to take the creation under state control, and Nikolai was offered to become the main engineer of the Belevsky municipal drying plant. Having refused Nikolai’s offer, they were repressed, production on a factory scale was stopped, and the original recipe for marshmallow remained unknown to this day. But Belev craftsmen still prepare it and trade in such a delicacy. Let's find out the TOP 3 best recipes for Belevsky marshmallow.

Secrets and tips of chefs

  • For Belevskaya marshmallow, it is recommended to take apples only of the Antonovka variety, because they contain a lot of gelling substances. But in modern cooking, other types of apples are used. The main thing is that they should be sour or sweet and sour.
  • The dessert is prepared in the following proportions: apples - 8 kg, egg whites - 8 pcs., sugar - 2 kg and sweet powder for wiping.
  • To create puree from apples, they are previously baked in the oven at 180 degrees for approximately 40 minutes. It is better to bake the fruits in the oven whole, not peeled, otherwise the marshmallow will turn out black.
  • But fruits can be cooked on the stove. Stew apples on the stove with the addition of a small amount of water over low heat under a lid until softened. Previously, they are cut into quarters and cleared of seeds.
  • To puree baked apples, it is best to use a fine sieve through which they are ground. Then the skins and seeds will remain in the sieve, and the puree will be homogeneous. They also use a grater, blender, meat grinder, or food processor for grinding.
  • The apple pulp should be beaten to make the product fluffy. The mass will be saturated with small air bubbles and dry better.
  • If the parchment does not separate well from the baked apple mass, moisten it slightly with water, then it will come off easier.
  • To ensure that the sliced ​​marshmallow has smooth edges, cut it with a knife dipped in cool water.
  • If you store the dessert at room temperature, it will become dry, if in the refrigerator it will be tender and soft.
  • If you do not add proteins to the marshmallow, it can be stored for several months without losing its taste properties.

Homemade Belyovskaya marshmallow

Following the ancient recipe for Belyovskaya marshmallow, the first result is an airy dessert similar to a delicate soufflé that simply melts in your mouth.
