Chokecherry Success?

A friend of mine mentioned to me a while back that she had a cone-shaped strainer and pestle.  She has graciously allowed me to borrow it to try my hand at it with my chokecherries.  She also harvested a bunch of chokecherries this summer/fall but she didn't try the strainer with hers as she was just making jelly.  I, on the other hand, would like to make fruit leather, which takes pulp not just the juice.


Yet again optimistic, I threw a spoonful of chokecherries into the cone and went to work.  The result?



Pulp into the bowl and whole pits and skins left in the cone!  I wouldn't mind putting the skins in, too, if I can figure out how to best do that, but for now I call this a success.
