Straining tomatoes with cheesecloth

Tomato season is upon us,  the request are coming in for straining tomatoes, our grade 40 & 50 cheesecloth is the most requested grade of cheesecloth for this purpose

Instructions place the tomatoes in a  sieve and run under cool water. Trim off the stems and discard. Drain and set the tomatoes aside in a bowl.
  • Set the sieve over a bowl. Place two or three tomatoes in the sieve and crush the tomatoes.. The pulp and seeds will drain through the sieve,  do  few tomatoes at a time

  • Then line the sieve with cheesecloth  pour in the tomato pulp. Work the pulp through the cheese cloth with a wooden spoon. The pulp and juice that strain through will now be ready for cooking.
    let us know if you prefer grade 40 or grade 50. It will save us a lot of time when customers are in doubt
