Is there a good/easier way to juice blackberries without using cheesecloth and something to squish it with?

Question

Was wondering if there is any mechanical thing or helpful hint for jucing blackberries. I figure that a traditional juicer would grind up the seed and I don't want that.

Answer 1

A Finnish friend introduced me to the miracle of the steam juicer. This is a large kettle/strainer/steam reservoir. You put water in the steam reservoir and fruit in the stainer. The steam juices the fruit and the juice runs out a tube. No filtering, no squishing.

In addition to blackberries, it works well with elderberries, raspberries, crab apples, apples, .... To find one, search under the brand-name Mehu-Liisa. If you like to make jelly or juice at home, it will change your life.

Answer 2

You want to strain out the seeds and this is the only way I know how to do screen out the seeds. I have used tea towels too not expecting to keep the towel afterward because of the staining.

Answer 3

I blanch mine with just a little water(very little) and press in the pot with a masher. I then strain it through panty hose. It works pretty good. Those tiny seeds are a booger to keep out of your juice.

While you're straining that juice, take a gallon of it, cut it with two gallons of water, mix in about 5lbs of sugar and a pack of yeast, please. Let me know when it quits bubbling so I can come over to bottle it up.

Answer 4

This machine works for tomatoes, juice goes out side slot, skin and seeds out end nozzle. Should work for berries as well. I have seen manual ones, could not find one quickly for you. Have fun
