Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

My family has a weakness for blackberries. We live in the Pacific Northwest. They grow everywhere. In late August and September, we start getting grumpy if we haven't had a blackberry pie within the week. I canned 21 quarts of blackberry jam this summer. We really like our blackberries! Over the years, we've tried a number of techniques to remove the seeds. Pantyhose. Cheesecloth. Wire mesh strainers. All of those techniques remove far too much pulp with the seeds. We always end up mixing the pulp and seeds back in and making our jam and pies with seeds in. Recently I needed a food mill to prep some pears for pear butter. When this one arrived, I noticed the disc with the smallest holes appeared just the right size for straining out blackberry seeds. Solely interested in serving the Amazon community, I went and picked enough berries to make 4 quarts of jam and two pies. My 4 y.o. son and I then had a jolly good time of milling them. This mill did a fantastic job of removing nearly every seed from bucket after bucket of blackberries. And it didn't take long either. To avoid the appearance that our testing was biased, we donated the blissfully seed free pies and jam to charity. If you believe that last sentence, I've got some blackberry seeds I'd like to sell you. Oh yeah, it also did a fine job of milling our pears.
