I put a layer of cheesecloth inside my standard seive, and use a spatula
or back of a big spoon to press it out. of course, I can't keep from
snitching bits of the almond paste stuff that's left, so staying clean
isn't really what I'm after. But the spat gives more leverage more evenly
than my fingers do.
