Jamming Inside
Worm-like Spirostomum ambiguum are millimeter-sized single-cell organisms that live in brackish waters. In milliseconds, these cells can retract to half their original length, generating g-forces greater than a Formula One driver experiences when cornering. How, researchers wondered, do these cells avoid shredding their internal structure with forces that strong? (Image and research credit: R. Chang and M. Prakash; via APS Physics)

This will be the last (major) peach project for the year. These would *never* have fully ripened, due to the mold issue, so I trimmed the yucky spots and puréed the slightly-underripe peaches. Jam recipes will tell you that you can't purée the fruit. Because reasons!! However, they are giving directions for perfect, County-fair-winning jams. In real life you. can. purée the fruit. In this case, it felt like my best option. I added a little orange juice (because!) and ended up with 6 cups of fruit.
I used Pomona's pectin, not-quite 2 cups of sugar, and cinnamon/clove/nutmeg blend spice.
Another reason for using purée instead of chopped or crushed fruit is spreadability. This spread beautifully, and if you don't want chunks of fruit for any reason (sensory issues? digestive issues?), this works very well.
