Morning guys, hope all's well.

I racked my cider in the secondary yesterday, where I introduced to it 190g of sugar in the way of 2Lb of peach puree. Now it's been 16/17 hours, and I am seeing no signs of fermentation - No bubbling in the airlock, but also no bubbling in the demijohn, it is totally still - I am hoping to bottle-carb and so this lack of fizz is worrying me slightly.
 
Maybe it's having difficulty fermenting the puree?

Was the cider quite clear when you racked it?

The cider was cloudy in primary. With leaving over some sediment in the primary vessel and the addition of some with the peach now, I don't think it's any more or less cloudy now in secondary. The peach puree was actually very liquid and thin and, now in with the cider, I don't think it's really thickened up at all.
