Pastila

Pastila (russian: пастила́) is a traditional russian fruit confectionery (pâte de fruits). it has been described as "small squares of pressed fruit paste" and "light, airy puffs with a delicate apple flavor". in imperial russia, the "small jellied sweetmeats" were served for tea "with a white foamy top, a bit like marshmallow, but tasting of pure fruit".the first mentions of pastila in russian written sources date back to the 16th century. the name is probably a loanword from italian: pastello or pastiglia, or from the cognate french: pastille which in turn comes from latin: pastillus (a loaf or pie, cf. pastilla).in the 19th century, pastila was made from sourish russian apples such as antonovka or mashed northern berries (lingonberry, rowan, currants) sweetened with honey or sugar and lightened with egg whites. the paste was baked in the russian oven for many hours, then arranged in several layers inside an alder box and then left to dry in the same oven.in imperial russia, pastila was considered an expensive treat. priced at one rouble and a half, it was produced at noblemen's manors by serf labor. the cheapest pastila was made with honey instead of sugar. the russian stove afforded two days of steadily diminishing heat to bake the fruit paste. a tatar variety was strained through a fine sieve, which helped keep apple seeds intact.in the soviet period, pastila was produced using an industrially optimised technology. according to william pokhlyobkin, this soviet-style pastila does not depend on the unique properties of the peasant stove and is markedly inferior to its homemade predecessors. it was ultimately eclipsed in popularity by zefir, which is made from similar ingredients but with whipped egg whites and gelling agents. in the 2010s, traditional pastila is regaining its popularity, with the kolomna and especially belyov versions widely available commercially.

Fruit preserves are preparations of fruits whose main preserving agent is sugar and sometimes acid, often stored in glass jars and used as a condiment or spread. there are many varieties of fruit preserves globally, distinguished by method of preparation, type of fruit used, and place in a meal. sweet fruit preserves such as jams, jellies and marmalades are often eaten at breakfast with bread or as an ingredient of a pastry or dessert, whereas more savory and acidic preserves made from "vegetable fruits" such as tomato, squash or zucchini, are eaten alongside savoury foods such as cheese, cold meats, and curries.
