wild black raspberry jelly

Donald Girod
  
Every year we pick a bunch of wild black raspberries and
make jelly. It isn't really jelly because most of the pulp
is in it, but we get rid of the seeds. Wild black
raspberries have small seeds and many of them pass thru the
finest screen of our Moulinex sieve thingy (they also pass
thru the cone of our juicer which resembles a meat grinder),
so we end up using a jelly bag to strain the output of the
Moulinex. The jellybag plugs up on the pulp (wild
raspberries have a lot of pulp too), so we squeeze it to get
more stuff thru. This is a real pain.

What would work better as a means of separating seeds from
the juice and pulp? We really don't want the seeds (they are
very gritty), but the rest of the berry is just fine.

What about a 'juice machine'? I haven't tried it... but to
hear Jack LaLayne (sp?) describe his juicer - one would
think it might do the job you're wanting. <shrug> I dunno.
