Making applesause: need recs for a strainer/food mill

[JMS]

I have about 100 apples sitting on my porch. I need a strainer, or some other device. Anyone have any recommendations? TIA!

I used a food mill that I found at Bed, Bath and Beyond. It seems to work pretty well. http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?order_num=-1&SKU=11951627 In store it is located in the aisle with the spatulas and other gadgets.

I have that exact food mill. I had good luck with it for things like sweet potatoes, but had no luck at all with fruits. I ended up with the fruit pulp staying in the bowl part of the mill and just fruit juice in the bowl underneath. (I tried every plate it came with.) I eventually just switched completely over to my food processor for everything. It worked great.
