In answer to your question about the app...Hi there! <br><br>In answer to your question about the apple-thingy, what you have is an old-fashioned colander with pestle. <br><br>If you are making applesauce, cut your apples up and cook them until soft (on the stove or microwave).<br><br>Place the colander so that the sauce will run down the sides into a large bowl or pan. Ladle the cooked apples (use a little of the cooking water if you want runny sauce, or no water if you like it thick) into the colander and with the pestle, you start stirring and mashing the apples. The sauce will come out of the holes around the outside of the colander. <br><br>You continue stirring until all of the cooked apple is out of the peel. You can run a spatula down the sides every so often; that way, the sauce won't clog up the holes. It can be labor-intensive, but for small batches, it can be a fun thing to do! <br><br>My Grandma used one, then she handed it down to my Mom, and she handed it down to me!A.Mariehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06106004037607712134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4806764758078158037.post-67580493757364859812009-09-19T18:07:03.084-07:002009-09-19T18:07:03.084-07:00Also forgot to mention that you can use this with ...Also forgot to mention that you can use this with cooked tomatoes, also, for juice...it works great! :)A.Mariehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06106004037607712134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4806764758078158037.post-58305559651963910042009-09-20T08:55:28.763-07:002009-09-20T08:55:28.763-07:00OMG- I am so so so jealous!
