For instance, you don't get the kind of gravity - driven diffusion that makes molecules scatter to a specific destination based on their density (think of excess
sugar falling to the bottom of an oversaturated glass).
But the recipe still worked out; the remaining unburnt jam had cooked down with the milk and
sugar into a deliciously caramelized mixture of tender mashed butternut squash - with a smoky
fall flavor all its own (hopefully not due
to our burning the
bottom of the milk!)
