I've got the Chef now I'm off to research a sieve attachment. Thanks Bren.
I’ve got a chef too.
And I also want a sieve attachment now.

Posted that before I read JJB’s post saying that it would cost eighty quid!

Have a look on ebay I bought mine from there about 10 years ago.

That was the ebay price. Unfortunately the attachment has been discontinued so any seller can name their price. It seems, from just a cursory glance through the listings, that it's available in the States. Also beware those on sale might not fit all models.

P doesn't mind raspberry seeds but blackberry ones don't soften and are numerous.  In the past I've boiled 'em up and pressed them through a sieve, which is darned time consuming.  I'm considering getting a rotary mouli mill, any experience of these out there?
Saw this on a FB page about jam making  - and I thought of you!

[color=var(--primary-text)][color=var(--primary-text)]I bought a stainless steel moulin from Nisbets last year for around £45. It has 3 different plates, and it squishes your berries and separates the seeds. Much easier than muslins and sieves[/color]

I too got the idea from some recipe site, my site said she got her mouli from a thrift shop for $5. £45 sounds a bit steep for just once a year. I'm still dithering about an amazon cheap one.

I made a jar and a half of Mango chutney out of odds and ends!
Three mangoes, brown sugar and distilled malt vinegar, a sachet of lemon grass, ginger and garlic puree (should have been fresh ginger, powdered ginger and garlic), chilli flakes (should have been a fresh chilli). The recipe was for microwave cooking but I didn't fancy that lot bubbling over in the microwave so I did it on the hob.
Tastes OK but I'll let it stand for a few weeks before trying it.

Made 4 jars of raspberry and blackberry jam this morning - with the FREE fruit I was given yesterday.
For the record, I didn't sieve out the pips.
Did anyone buy a mouli or special sieve that we were talking about the last time this thread was in use?

Pickled sweet peppers.
Rhubarb, orange and ginger jam.
Garlic, oregano roasted tomatoes.
Dehydrated apple slices.
Blackberry and apple Jam.

I'm still using my Kenwood sieve to remove pips

I never bothered, looking at reviews I was never convinced a mouli would do the job.  I still use a wide sieve and the arduous flat of a spoon to push the blackberry flesh through.
