While I never mind, or even notice, the seeds when eating raspberries
straight from the bramble, they drive me nuts in every other recipe. I
tried throwing raspberries in fruit smoothies and found them
unpleasantly seedy. I don't like them in jam or mousse or fool.
Seeds=bleah. I've just tried pureeing the raspberries in a blender,
then pouring them through a strainer, pressing it through with a spoon
until I can remove the seeds. Is there a better way? This seems to
waste a lot. Ideally, I'd like to maintain the look and consistency of
the raspberry when using it in a mousse, just get rid of the seeds.

No can do. You just can't seed raspberries the same way you can pit
cherries. Either deal with the seeds or have the pureed fruit.

Thanks. I've been coming to this conclusion as the day has worn on.

I've tried with pretty much the same results. The best luck I've had is
putting the puree in a cheesecloth-lined sieve over a bowl in the
refrigerator and left them overnight. Then pressed through as much as I
could. There's still waste.

Actually, I did try this once, but perhaps I need a different food mill.
The seeds clogged the mill to the point where more more pulp or juice
would go through, and that was with just a small amount of berries.

Victorio food strainer. :-)
Best tool on the market for this sort of thing, and there is a LOT less
waste IMHO! Easy to use and clean up too:

It goes about as far as you can get to minimize the waste.
Especially if you run it thru on the finest screen twice.

Nah, I'm satisfied with my puree and strain method. I figure I only
have another few days of picking more than a quart each day. Then it
will taper off. I wouldn't buy a food mill for 2 1/2 weeks each year.
(I know food mills can be used for other things.)

I wonder if a Vitamix would liquify the raspberry seeds? Has anyone
tried it?

My juicer does a pretty good job of keeping the seeds in the strainer while
passing most of the pulp through. But the strainer-and-spoon combination
works fairly well for me too.
