    Use a clean pillowcase - obviously, one that you don't mind staining and preferably pure cotton.
    Warning ..... I'm a peri-menopausal axe-wielding maniac ;)

    Tights ? my jelly bag isn't cotton but a sort of nylony material like coarse tights.

    I think a mouli will pulp your fruit and you won't get that lovely clear jewel-like jelly, it'll probably taste OK though.

    Thanks very much :D I have both so I'll be ok now I might try a tiny bit in the mouli too just to give it a 'test drive' :rotfl: My boys fortunately love the jams I make but just aren't keen on the pips so I'll try straining them first too.
