Salsa
Have wonderful chunky texture in your fresh tomato salsa by using the Salsa Screen
(available separately) to strain your tomatoes. Combine the strained tomatoes with
chopped onion, jalapeño and fresh cilantro. Season to taste with fresh lime juice,
minced garlic and salt.
Grape Juice
Use the shorter Grape Spiral (available separately) to process grapes. Wash grapes,
remove stems, and strain with the standard screen provided. You may want to run the
pulp through the strainer a second time to extract the most juice from the grapes.
