Forget-Me-Not Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 What brand? Do you like it? Any suggestions? I have 7 qts of blackberries that need to be made into seedless jam/syrup. I've been wanting a sauce maker/mill forever and I think I'm finally going to go ahead and invest in one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been wanting a sauce maker/mill forever and I think I'm finally going to go ahead and invest in one. Well, I have a Vittorio (is that how you spell it?) and it works great, although I decided after a few years it was easer to make applesauce by coring, coking and using my hand blender than to transfer to the sauce maker and back. More recently, we wanted to make sour cherries into jam, and got a cheapy food mill (the kind that you put over a saucepan and you turn the thingy round and round, and the sauce comes out the bottom -- but the cheapy one didn't work at all. But people I know who have used the good one (which is about $22-$27 at Amazon) say they are wonderful. I'd like to get one at some point (for jam making). Not much help, but there you go. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pippen Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 I have a vintage $5 thrift shop version of one of these: http://www.canningpantry.com/chinois-strainer-pestle.html It works great but it takes up a lot of space for something I don't use often. So much so that when I didn't use it for a number of years I got rid of it and then found we needed it again when my kids got into 4-H.

Forget-Me-Not Posted July 31, 2010 Author Share Posted July 31, 2010 Well, my MIL has a Victorio she just lent me. We'll see how it works out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotherGoose Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 I have Lehman's best food mill, if you visit their website you will see it prominently displayed. It's about $50. I love it. I do tomatoes & applesauce, and I just cut the bad spots out and then cook them to mush, cool them, and run them through. My dd4 can even turn the handle! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iammommy Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 I have an old fashioned Foley Food Mill and it works well. Nan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
