I'm a grandma too and I used the Foley Food Mill (drs. orders) to grind up our son's food instead of buy Gerber's baby food in a jar. He said this was healthier and cheaper. So now, he is grown and I changed from baby food to doing tomatoes (I boil them, cut them in half, run them through the Mill and pour the juice into Miracle Whip jars and freeze it for sauce or soup (cream of). Also I make THE best apple sauce exactly the same way I do tomatoes except I cut and core the apples first - moosh 'em all up in the Foley and put them in plastic bowls (whatever) and freeze them. That is really good too. NO SUGAR!!!!!!!! I do it all the easy way. Have fun! Edie
