Pastila (Russian: пастила) 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.
