RECIPES
-5- -8-
TOMATOES: The Food Strainer & Sauce Maker will easily puree fresh tomatoes,
remove the seeds, core and skin with no pre-cooking whatsoever. Fresh vine ripened
tomatoes work best. Remove the stems, wash and quarter the tomatoes, then load the
Hopper half way full with the quartered tomatoes. Guide the tomatoes into the neck of
the Food Strainer & Sauce Maker using the Stomper, turn the Handle in a clockwise
direction. The skins and seeds will come out of the Waste Funnel, while the delicious
puree slides into your bowl ready to be seasoned and eaten. If the tomatoes are extra
pulpy, a little unripe or difficult to strain, parboil them to make them softer. After par boiling,
allow to cool before straining. If excessive liquid backs up into the Hopper continue
turning the Handle until the liquid runs through the machine before guiding more tomatoes
into the neck of the Strainer.
APPLES AND PEARS: For best results apples and pears should be softened before
processing with the Food Strainer & Sauce Maker. This is easily accomplished without
peeling or even coring the apples! Quarter the fruit before or after softening. Place the
fruit in a pot with about 1/2 full of water. Set the heat to medium, cover, and let them steam
until they are soft. For a little extra flavor you can use cider to steam the apples. After
removing the fruit from the pot, strain it through the Food Strainer & Sauce Maker using
the standard Screen. The cores, skins and seeds will come out of the Waste Funnel,
while the delicious puree slides into your bowl ready to be seasoned and eaten. If the
Food Strainer & Sauce Maker is too hard to turn, or it jams, the fruit may need further
softening.
BERRIES: The Food Strainer & Sauce Maker will make it easy to create homemade
jams and jellies. Combine different berries and fruits to create custom flavors. With the
optional Berry Screen (Model No. 07-0855 sold separately) you can easily separate even
the tiniest seeds from raspberries and strawberries. If you like your jellies thicker just add
a few crushed berries to the puree or use a Screen with larger holes.
12. Attach the Waste Funnel to the end of the
Screen by pushing the small end with the tabs over the
end of the Screen. NOTE: Use caution not to break
the Waste Funnel when attaching or detaching.
13. Attach the
Squirt Guard/Chute to the Screen
by sliding the Squirt Guard/Chute over the Screen
with the larger opening of the Squirt Guard/Chute
closest to the Hopper. Snap it into place.

to tenderness before using them in the Strainer.
