be cut as soon as noticed and safely disposed of in order to
prevent contamination of other fruits.

Boiled fruit
Hot conditions can also cause premature flesh translucency
in developing fruit, commonly referred to as 'boiled fruit'.
Boiled fruit is soft and very juicy, with an insipid flavour.
Boiled fruits are particularly prevalent among fruit that have
developed during winter, and then are subjected to very hot
spring conditions during maturation (Pegg
et al
. 1995).
