And how was this info needed again? I bet you used the SEARCH to find this thread again too!! Some people might think I am insulting, but here on the forum there are some who want everything handed to them on a silver platter and expect to be spoon fed personally. Life isn't always pleasant, or a bed of roses! It does take a small amount or effort to do simple searches. I mentioned neem oil to someone in another web site and they had never heard of it. I simply did a web search for that key word and supplied a link to it. This was so easy to do for the original poster, instead of them asking the question and expecting instant gratification within the forum. There, the forums are not handled the same way, all posts get sent to a moderator and then post public, and that can take a week or more. Consider yourself fortunate when it comes to public info, that some just don't want to read or make any effort.

I have a food mill and the jelly strainer. The food mill is a pass-along from my sister, the jelly strainer a minimal purchase. You should be able to find one on Amazon or at your local hardware store for in the neighborhood of $8-$9, a box of 2 additional bags (that you may not need) for $5. The jelly strainer isn't required, just a bit easier. For years I used cheese cloth or muslin in either a colander, or as a self made bag of a square tied with twine and hanging from a cabinet knob over a bowl. With the strainer frame and bag, I can strain juice and still get something out of my upper cabinet without slinging juice across the counter ;) A simple thing.

Take your own advice too, by going out and SMELL your dill as you told me to do recently.. Flip that photo 90 degrtees right (that clockwise one quarter turn for you who do not know), and you have the SAME EXACT MACHINE, PHOTO, MODEL, TYPE, DESIGN as I had posted MANY times Are you trying to drive me CRAZY?? You are doing a good job of it now.. Maybe you should get some professional assistance somehwere.. Not to be rude, but HEY its quite obvious to me now that you are having difficulty grasping a simple concept, that could have ended up on a positive note a LONG time ago.

I just wanted to update you with my first experience using the Salsa screen on my food mill - it was very disappointing. First, there were hardly any pieces, it really was just like the sauce screen but instead it let threw all the tomato seeds! Even if you dont mind eating a million tomato seeds with your salsa you would have to cook down the 'sauce' that came out since there is still so much water in it. I am not sure what type of tomatoes you are using but this year I was able to grow some seeds I received from my Amish neighbors, I think they called them Pink Ladies. They are huge and really solid so instead of doing the boiling then peeling route I just cut them in half or quarters then sliced off the top&bottom then peeled the skin off like you would a potato with a knife!! It saved a ton of time. I did it in the sink and then would rinse off most of the tomato seeds and jell sack - then I diced them for my Annie's Salsa. Last year I didnt have these nice tomatoes, just roma and beefsteak so I would freeze them then after they were frozen the skins just peel right off under hot water. I would then dice them, while frozen, and let them drain in a large strainer. So, best of luck with your Salsa... Every time I make it I say "never again" but then when it is done I am so happy!
