I am in the process of making a Summer Pudding, using strawberries, raspberries and some of the blackcurrants I picked earlier in the week. I have simmered and strained the blackcurrants through a sieve.

My question is 'How do I get the wretched seeds out of the holes in the sieve?????????????'

I boil the kettle and pour that over the sieve- usually works.
get a washing up brush or old toothbrush and scrub the outside of the sieve under cold running water.
or else you have about 15 hours work with a cocktail stick lol
^^ what woofgang says!

I've done the scrubbing brush bit. They seem to be permanently jammed in. (excuse the pun)
often if you let the sieve dry out completely the seeds will flake or scrape off ..
Question Author
Right, I'll just leave it then. Thanks for that.
Why did you sieve them in the first place ? usually, fruit goes into summer pudding whole. Cooked, maybe, but not sieved.
Question Author
I didn't want all those hard, woody bits from the end of the blackcurrants.
Question Author
I left the sieve to dry and all the seeds came out easily.
Thank you, jan01.
