Sarah – yes, sounds good, particularly if you’ve a glazed one as will stick better. Then the problem will be not to scratch the wood-grain work-surface…. A damp tea-towel (damp to stop it skidding….) might do that. (Thinks…. Isn’t life is so much easier buying stuff from Tescos…?)
Back to KateP’s original problem: Kate, it’s worth doing a GYO site search on ‘passata’ (ask if unsure how) as there are several recipes and previous detailed discussions, for example see:
http://www.growfruitandveg.co.uk/gra...ata_27173.html
Also, Kate, the part of your original query that related to jam making, a different (and possibly better) solution to the pip question is to use a juice steamer, they’re brilliant (I first heard of these continental gadgets on this list). Not cheap, the posh ones such as sold by Juiceland (and currently out of stock) won’t give you much change from Ł100, see:
Mehu Liisa Steam Juicer @ Juiceland.co.uk
which makes a jar of jam somewhat pricey. I believe they’re much more common (and cheaper) on the continent if you or friends are travelling this summer…
And finally, as this thread is probably being read by kitchen gadget freaks here’s a freebie to a good home (and nowt to do with passata….). The “Princess” (ha! wot was I thinking of?) electric potato peeler and salad spinner - see e.g. a pic on
Princess Potato Peeler and Salad Spinner - electricshopping.com
I have one that’s completely unused (both functions available to me on other gadgets) if anyone would use it? I no longer have the original box. Charity shops tend to not want electric gadgets and I could do with some space on the gadget shelf for new gadgets…. If interested send me a PM.
