why does apple sauce separate? (Also tomato juice.)
Comments (4)Why does home canned tomato juice usually separate? Home canned tomato juice usually separates because it is made by the "cold break" method. The tomatoes are crushed before they are heated through. As soon as they are crushed, enzymes start to break down the pectin that "cements" tomato cells together. Commercially, tomatoes are heated nearly to boiling in a matter of seconds, using equipment not available to consumers. Because the pectin holding tomato cells together remains intact, a thick bodied, homogeneous juice is produced. The best that can be done at home is to heat quartered tomatoes quickly to boiling temperatures while crushing. Make sure the mixture boils constantly and vigorously while you add the remaining tomatoes. Simmer 5 minutes after all tomatoes are added, before juicing. If you are not concerned about juice separating, simply slice or quarter tomatoes into a large saucepan. Crush, heat and simmer for 5 minutes before juicing.

Comments (16)Harry, how old is that tree? if i remember correct, you have never gotten fruit from it. the leaves do not look like the ones in the picture below wonder if its a different variety from the link at the bottom: Apel Syzygium malaccense Syzygium malaccense (formerly Eugenia malaccensis). Identification based on a drawing done by J.J. Ochse in 1931, information from Maurice Kong, and Chris Rollins. Apel en wai (laud) Syzygium jambos Syzygium jambos. Identification based on a drawing done by J.J. Ochse in 1931, information from Maurice Kong, and Chris Rollins. Apel en wai (tikitik) Referred to as "appel en katik," (Elias Thomas) or "sour apple." Also called "Apel en wai" on Pohnpei but is recognized as being different. Referred to as "foreign apple, small." This fruit is consistenty smaller and is sour. A favorite with soy sauce and salt. When placed in the same shot, the three apples appear as seen below: Left to right: Apel, apel en wai (laud), apel en wai (tikitik). Each is sitting on its own leaf. Kirek en wel Syzygium stelecantha Identification based on Bill Raynor's plants of Pohnpei spreadsheet. On 16 October 1999 Dr. Don Buden and Brian Lynch photographed the above "wild" apple (kirek en wel) on a hike into the mountains of Pohnpei. This apple is found only in the mountains. The apple is bourne on the trunk of the tree and is the "fourth" type of "wax apple" that exists on Pohnpei.

Comments (5)Every variety is different. There are some roses that won't even set hips at all. Others are only good as pollen parent or seed parent but not both. It just depends. It might also be because the hip didn't ripen long enough and the seeds inside weren't quite mature. Some seed may have a thicker seed coat or there may be something inhibiting germination. There are a lot of variables involved. I have had seeds that didn't germinate for me until the second or third year that I had them. Sounds like you're doing pretty well with the ones you have already so just be patient....See MoreWhy does no one plant native Stewartia?
Comments (40)I've been in my current home for 11 years, with a goal of trying to rewild the land here. I’m in city limits, but with 10 acres there is a lot to restore. I’ve spent much of the time clearing out invasives and removing aggressive plants from the previous owner like ivy, liriope, and vinca among others. I’ve had good success with wildflowers, but since shrubs and trees take longer that is still a project in process. I’ve put in a few non-native Stewartia to get a sense of how they adjust to local conditions. Stewartia rostrata and Stewartia monadelpha are growing well, but so far only Stewartia pseudocamellia has flowered. I have grown a lot of my plants here from seed but none of my plant societies has offered the native Stewartia so I’m looking for a good source. In the meantime, I’m also adding lots of other native trees and shrubs, with great growth by native azaleas and others. I’ll follow this thread with interest to learn more about your success....See Morestanofh 10a Hayward,Ca S.F. bay area
