I think it's Italian and starts with a V, but can't remember. There was a post a long while back on the old Gail's. Would this work for making a seedless raspberry jam? We have lots of raspberries in the summer, but I really dislike all the seeds in the jam. I tried to use a strainer, straining the cooked pulp, but gave up. I would like a jam, not a jelly so a juicer wouldn't work.

ISO: Charlie. You were part of the linked post on this "Victoria Sieve". He mentions
it is found in Italian neighborhoods. I think a food mill might work if it works to extract tomato seeds.

Ang, I have something called a squeezo. It is like an upscale food mill...
It clamps onto my counter and is a hand crank job. I have three different screen sizes for separating seeds of different sizes. It works very well for berries. I will try to find a picture on the 'net when I go home tonight if no one else comes up with one before then.
It sorta looks like the piece that Marilyn posted a few posts above. Basically, you feed the berries/tomatoes into an opening at the top, crank the handle on the side and the berries get fed into the screened chamber where a GIANT screw like piece forces the berries thru the screen and the seeds on out the side. This probably makes no sense what so ever. You need a picture!

No kitchen should be without a food mill...
After seeing one in almost every Italian kitchen I set foot in, I came back to Canada and promptly bought one. I swear it gets more use than anything else in the kitchen (well, except the skillets, maybe). It comes with different-size screens, is a breeze to set up and clean, and I'd much rather use it than my food processor for so many things.
