    Fruit Trenches: Cultivating Subtropical Plants in Freezing Temperatures
    
    from Kris De Decker
    
    During the first half of the twentieth century, Soviet citrologists grew (sub)tropical plants in temperatures as low as minus 30 degrees Celsius – outdoors, and without the use of glass or any fossil fuel-powered assistance.

  @ElDeadKennedy @GoodBoyUV @absurdlyobfuscated @nugger @scenesbycolleen alas, oranges don't really grow here there's no 'season' you can get oranges without shipping them from somewhere.

  @jeffcliff @GoodBoyUV @absurdlyobfuscated @nugger @scenesbycolleen @ElDeadKennedy I recall the existence of Soviet-aged attempts at growing fruit trees in trenches deep enough to create microclimates, assuming no snowfall. Can't find the paper, though

  @ElDeadKennedy @scenesbycolleen @GoodBoyUV @absurdlyobfuscated @nugger tell you what, you make jam from orange concentrate and prove how it can be done better.

  process:
  
  about
  
  ~2-3ish cups blueberries
  1 can of frozen orange concentrate
  1 cup water
  2 heaping tbsp corn starch (too much)
  boil/reduce until jam
  
  result:
  
  tastes ok.
  
  probably the worst jam i've made so far but it *is* undeniably jam and with peanutbutter & toast it's hard to tell that i made it with the exception that every bite is a bit of a kick in the face of orange taste...but really what does one expect from so much orange content? it was definitely too much corn starch and definitely cooked it too high of a temperature. net result is a little soupy still but definitely jam-like in texture (last batch of jam i went too far and made it almost sticky gummy like this time i erred on the side of soupy)
  
  net result: it can be done and results in real functional jam, if not as good as the other batches but could be improved with fine tuning

  @jeffcliff @GoodBoyUV @absurdlyobfuscated @nugger :blobcatthink: did you even need the corn starch (or extra water, for that matter)?
  
  I just reduce fruit + sugar and a little lemon juice to make jam (I assume the orange concentrate probably has some extra sugar in it, but even if not, I would assume the fruit sugars would be enough?).
  I'm assuming the corn starch was to thicken it faster like pectin, but if you just boil/reduce longer, it should get jammy enough, no? :blobcatthink:
  
  Also, orange-blueberry, that might be a neat combo :blobcatthink:
