Large mesh cheesecloth? Straining pulp (not juice) from plums for jam Each year I have huge quantities of small cherry plums (roughly 2x cherry size).
The problem is the pits.  Is there a large mesh cheesecloth available I could try?


I've tried cooking partially, then a food mill.  The pits get jammed under the wiper.
I've tried a cherry pitter. Messy and slow.
I've tried a paperclip to get the pits out.  Slow.
I've tired of cutting the pits out.


Can I cook up the jam partially then run through a large mesh bag, to separate the pits?  Maybe a woven polyester?  What kind of mesh bag would be large enough to pass pulp, small enough to hold pits, strong enough to survive the twist and squeeze,and also food safe?
I use nylon straining bags for making wine. You can get them in various sizes at homebrew stores. (for example: http://www.midwestsupplies.com/nylon-straining-bag-18-x-32-coarse-mesh.html) I'm sure they'd do the trick for what you need. Although this may only work for passing juice, you might inquire at your local homebrew store if they have a slightly larger mesh size.
