Victorio Strainer and the pumpkin screen
A question for those in the know.......
Ok, so I bought Ross's Victorio Strainer and I've used it once for grapes. Worked great. Today I roasted my 2 Jack-o-lantern pumpkins and now I wanna puree them. I have the Victorio all set up and I've put some cooked pumpkin through it and I'm noticing there's an awful lot of pulp going out with the skins. I could do a much better job by hand (y'know, peel the skin off with a knife and then run the flesh through the food processor). So is this what I should expect? Or does it sound like I'm doing something wrong? Kathi |

Then I put the flesh through the food mill. One thing you might do is put the stuff back through. I often do that with tomatoes. -- Susan N.
