Our last child was born nearly 41 years ago but we still have some of
his cloth diapers. I use them folded in a colander when I need to drain
something. Of course they've been washed about 300 times. Also bought
half a bolt of cheesecloth for a couple of bucks at a garage sale and
use it. Depends on the volume of the job I'm doing at the time. Most any
clean cloth will do to strain jelly juices through.
