Hi John, sounds interesting. We freeze and can sauces and salsa but would like to make our own ketchup one day. Here's a pic of your new device and the link below.

If you have a Kitchenaid Mixer the vegetable strainer attachment works great. We got one this summer and have frozen a couple of gallons of puree and sauce already. It works in conjunction with the meat grinder attachment and has actually been fun to use.

I found an old Victorio juicer at a farmers auction last year. I paid $2 for it and was the only one to bid on it. It was in the original box complete w/instructions. What a find! Most of the people there didn't even know what it was.

I'm borrowing a friend's Kitchenaid straining attachment, I thought I'd be using it. However, I find the hopper is too small for me. Or rather, my Amish Paste Tomatoes.

I'm learning to not mind the seeds and the skins are easy to address with either roasting or blanching.

I'll be returning the borrowed attachment as soon as I see the friend again. I do like the looks of the manual food mills, nice big hoppers.

I use my vita mix, and I love it. I throw in seeds, skin, and all, then boil it up. Yummy soup. It does a good job of blending up the skin, and I actually prefer my soup to have little bits of skin and seeds. Perfect timing for this post!
