The general principle of pastile preparation works in this case: the berry should be rubbed in mashed potatoes, added sugar and other additives (mint, basil, vanilla, cinnamon), then pour the mass into a special pallet for pastile preparation and put the workpiece in an electric dryer. After 5-12 hours (depending on the humidity of the berry), the finished strawberry pastile can be folded into roulettes and stored for the winter. Well, if you do not have an electric dryer, the pastile can be cooked in the oven at a minimum temperature.

To fill the freezer with this natural treat you will need: a liter jar of fresh strawberries, a glass of sugar and 500 g of fatty cream. Wash the berries, then pour them with boiling water and grind them in a blender. Add sugar to the resulting puree and wait until it dissolves completely.
