I recently squeezed 6 pecks of peaches to get 2 gallons of juice (heavy syrup). This was my first attempt to process peaches in a cider press. The first 3 pecks I boiled to try to soften/remove the skin. I started at 5min (blanch) and would up going to 20min (mush). My peaches were probably a little green and were not free stones. Boiling never really helped with removing the skin, but did soften the peach so the stone (pit) could be mashed out. The remaining 3 peck I bit the bullet and cut the stone out. My cider grinder doesn't handle small fruit well. The boiled batched seemed to product less but heavier juice. The juice from the cut batch was initially lighter, but after applying full pressure ended pretty heavy. A lot of fruit pulp. Initial hydrometer showed only 5% sugar. I felt this was a little disappointing. I used the batch for wine, so I bit the bullet and add water and sugar.

If others are monitoring, I'd like to hear about better techniques and results.

What happens when you put a balloon in a jar then remove all the air?

If you put an inflated balloon in a jar and then remove the air from the jar the balloon will expand. Perhaps to the point of bursting, or to the point where it coats the entire inner surface of the jar.


How does a water balloon get suction into a jar?

When a water balloon placed over the mouth of a jar is squeezed, the air inside the jar is compressed. When this compression occurs, the pressure inside the jar drops slightly, creating a suction force. This suction force, produced as a result of the pressure difference between the outside and inside of the jar, causes the water from the balloon to be drawn into the jar.


Is jar is a mass noun?

Yes, "jar" is considered a countable noun, but it can be used as a mass noun in certain contexts like "a jar of honey" where the jar is being referenced more for the contents it holds rather than the physical container itself.


What is the least count of measuring jar?

The least count of a measuring jar is the smallest measurement increment that the jar can accurately measure or display. It is typically determined by the smallest division or graduation on the measuring scale of the jar.
