Lakeland Jelly Strainer

if you enjoy making preserves this is so good, for years I had been hanging muslin bags on the end of door handles and upside down stools, this is simple easy to use and does exactly the right job. Have used for making apple jelly and know it will be well used when I get round to marmalade making. Is simple easy and packs away flat, bags easy to wash and sterilise. get one and you will not be disappointed

Over the years I’ve tried tea towel and pillow cases, upside down chairs, hooks on the roof of the shed.. at last something which will hold a good quantity of stewed blackberry neatly on the work top with the bowl secure underneath. And disassembled will fit into a kitchen drawer for storage till next blackberry season.. Thank you!

So pleased I got this Jelly strainer. So easy to use. Slightly bigger than I was expecting.

The stand is a bit of a pain to assemble but then it all comes right and clicks together. The bag is sturdy, too, and hangs well with no chance of dropping. I christened it with brambles for bramble jelly, which left a bright cerise stain - this soaked out totally afterwards with a few minutes in hot water, leaving a pristine white bag - didn't see that one coming.. Only a relatively small bowl can get underneath the legs if the stand but it is more than enough for my purposes, otherwise it will take 2 bowls in deft succession. A very useful addition to my jelly kit.

Although I have not actually used my jelly strainer yet (no time, no fruit) I just know it will be fantastic! No more tying up a piece of muslin to an upper kitchen cupboard handle (always the only cupboard I will need to use several times during hanging time - why is that??) and then struggling to get it down without splashing precious juices all over work surfaces and floor and me) or being tempted to squeeze every last drop out of the bag because seems to be such a waste (yes, it really does turn your jelly cloudy and dull so not worth it). Such a perfect piece of kit.
