Apple Jam Marshmallow
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Here you have a very tasty and healthy dessert. The meringue is made using agar-agar. This natural gelatin is almost not absorbed by our body, yet it provides a feeling of fullness and speeds up metabolism. Unlike regular gelatin, agar-agar needs to be boiled. You need to work quickly with it, as it starts to set at just 40 degrees. This is its only drawback, which actually becomes an advantage: dishes made with agar-agar don't melt at room temperature. I made meringue for the first time in my life. I always thought it was a complicated process beyond my abilities, but I was curious to try. And I succeeded! So don't put off trying this recipe—give it a go right now! Wishing you joyful time in the kitchen. The ready dessert can now be served.

Then bring the mixture to a boil. Add sugar and vanillin, stir, bring to a boil again and simmer for 5–10 minutes over low heat until a thin thread forms when you lift a spoon out of the syrup, and this thread hardens quickly. Remove the syrup from the heat.
