Tips:

Apple Sauce:
Wash, remove stems and then quarter the apples. Do not peal, remove cores, or seeds. Simmer until soft - about 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and cool slightly. Process through strainer. Add sugar, honey or seasoning. Combine different apple varieties to suit your particular tastes.

Tomato Sauce & Juice:
For best results use fresh, ripe uncooked tomatoes. Wash and cut into quarter. Process through strainer. Add seasoning before or after straining. If you cook tomatoes first, let then cool slightly before straining. For thicker sauce or tomato paste, simmer pulp until thick.

Apricots, Peaches, Pears, Prunes, Plums, Etc.:
Wash fruit and remove pits if necessary. Simmer until soft. Drain and cool prior to straining. Add sweetener or season to taste.

Vegetable soups, purees & baby foods:
Wash vegetables and cut into quarter or cubes. Simmer until soft, then drain. Cool slightly before straining. Purees will be seedless, skinless, and free of tough fibers.

Beans & Peas:
Use any cooked beans or peas for soups, side dishes, bin dips, burritos, tacos, or enchiladas. Simply process through strainer and season to taste with onion, garlic etc.

Berries
Use the Berry Screen to process berries that have very small seeds. Wash, remove stems, and process through strainer. Perfect for making jams, jellies, pie fillings, dessert and ice cream toppings, adding to puddings, and for fruit leathers.

Pumpkin & Squash
Use the pumpkin screen to process squash and pumpkin. Wash, remove seeds and cut into small sections. Steam or bake until soft. Cool, then strain. Just right for pies, breads and side dishes.

Potatoes & Corn
Make mashed potatoes quickly for large groups or families. No need to peel, just quarter, cook until soft then strain. Add milk, butter and salt to taste.

Grape Juice
Use the shorter Grape Spiral to process grapes. Wash, remove stems and strain with the standard screen. You may want to run pulp through the strainer a second time to remove maximum juice.
