I just run excess tomatoes through the machine that takes off the skin and pips and chucks it all off to one side and which leaves a slightly thickened juice/pulp which comes out the other side. This I preserve by bottling (canning in USian). It can then be used for a thousand an one things (including cooking down to a pulp at some later stage) but our favourite is to use it to make tomato soup in winter. What is this machine called and who makes it? Check Leevalley. Works well, and we've had ours for years. http://www.leevalley.com/en/Garden/p...120,33279&ap=1 I've had an El Cheapo "Back to Basics" Food Strainer and sauce maker for years. Ran upon an extended set of strainers at a local junk shop, still in the box and paid two bucks for all of them. If you get one throw away the pewter nut that hold the handle on and get a steel nut that fits, works much better that way. Recently I built a short extension for the bolt that turns the mill and use a battery powered hand drill to turn the thing. Saves a lot of cranking. Lehman's also stocks various mills and strainers here in the U.S. of A. I've even got a meat grinder for my Kitchen Aid mixer but can't find the proper screens for that one or it would be my favorite. Do I have to many kitchen gadgets? Naw, there's never enough of that sort of thing. George |
