Ok, it's really called a Sauce Master I'm in love

It did 80 romas in 1/10 the time it used to take me. I made a quart of sauce for dinner and a quart for the freezer.
No blanching, no peeling, no seeding. This thing is AWESOME!!!!

I made apple butter with it the next night

Please post a pic of it and tell us more!!

more free food!!!!! My mom's 90something year old neighbor told her that she has no plans to use ANY of her pears...she has two large trees. Mom said "well, I can pick some for you if you want" and she replied "no, I just don't want any of them. If you know of someone who can use them, take them". So tomorrow I will be going to my mom's and picking pears!!!! You just can't beat free food!!!! OH YEAH

In the morning I am canning some apple butter, apple preserves and if I have time I'm making more zucchini bread for the freezer. I went to 4 different stores today trying to find canning jars! The forth one had 3 cases left and I grabbed 2 of them.

All most forgot, I'm also making some apple pies of course! I'm making 2 for DH and a couple more for the freezer.

Wow, I'm so jealous, luvmychicknkids! I have one pear tree with lots of pears. Only problem is there only good enough for the deer in my backyard!

I have one of those, I love it. throw the veggies or fruit in there turn the handle and it is done. Only thing is when I went to make my sauce, it was juice. I have the wrong screen for sauce.

I got a quart of muscadines in my CSA basket. I like muscadine jelly, but we don't really eat that much jelly. Can I make muscadine jam? What if I combine them with pears or apples or grapes or something, for jam/preserves? We just don't like the taste of fresh muscadines.

DH is going to buy me the berry screen & the pumpkin screen. I'm not getting the salsa screen since no one in my house eats anything chunky!

I thought my sauce was juice at first until enough bulk built up on the screen to start falling into the bowl. It cooked down to perfect smooth sauce like everyone loves.
