Soft fruit cups, drained and mashed (category guide)

Verified at Level 5. Minced & Moist

Preparation & serving notes

Choose very soft canned or cup fruits (peaches, pears in juice), drain the liquid completely, and mash to pieces no larger than 4 mm. The juice is a thin liquid. Drained fruit sitting in juice is a mixed consistency and fails.

Mandarin oranges have membranes that resist mashing. Peaches and pears behave better.
