Semi-finished fruit and vegetable purees

These purees are made from fresh or frozen fruit and berries. They have a smooth pulp consistency free of stalks, seeds, and skins. Preserved with sulfur dioxide or sorbic acid, they are recommended for the production of caramel, ice cream, traditional Russian fruit confection (pastila), Russian-style marshmallows (zefir), jam, and fruit butter (povidlo).
