In reply to Monique de Leeuw. Yes the fruit gets drawn in as you push it down. We love the KA attachment.

In reply to Claire Woody. Actually I have made it with pears and it was delish. It's a bit runnier though.

Any guesses on if this would work with pears? We make pear sauce each year and this would be great!

Have used the strainer attachment since it first came out. It’s a game changer!! Works fantastic for doing tomatoes for sauce too. Couldnt can without it!!

I see someone replied above about being unable to do 60pints of applesauce…I am curious about the volume this could do as well. Until proven otherwise I’m optimistic.

We used to have the KA original applesauce maker which is more like a manual Foley but attached to the top of your KitchenAid metal bowl with a wooden KitchenAid mill press that attaches to the spinning head. But they don’t make those anymore or my Opa has made it specifically. We used to turn out hundreds of large bags of freezer applesauce. Bushels. I’m curious if this small applesauce maker could make as much as you have to manually stuff the cooked fruit into the chamber.

Does the fruit get drawn in on its own as long as it is soft enough or does it constantly need to be manually pushed through the grinder. And how much applesauce could you make in a day do you estimate? I’m looking to freeze or can upwards of 100Litres.

In reply to Lydia. Hi Lydia. I have not tried the mashed potatoes!

I have made applesauce this same way with KitchenAid attachments. I’m wondering today if mashed potatoes could also be made this way — without peeling first. I am planning to prepare an overabundance of potatoes for the freezer but would love not to peel them first.
what do you think?

My dad always made applesauce from the apple tree in our yard. I’m going to try it now with our assorted apples from apple picking yesterday. I’m going to boil the apples in apple cider (1 cup) a little lemon juice and a few cinnamon sticks. Then his secret ingredient was a teaspoon of vanilla! I hope it works! I bought the food grinder for my moms chopped liver, and the fruit attachment for my dad applesauce. i don’t think i made either in the 30 yrs i’ve had it. hope this works!!! TYSM

In reply to Shanna Schweitzer. I haven't tried that, but if you do, come back and tell me (if it works!)
