[Sca-cooks] hair sieve

[Olwen the Odd]

I ran across "hair sieve" in a recipe out of Robert de Nola, Libro de Coxina
(Spanish 1525) for Poluora De Duque--Duke's Powder and wondering what a hair
sieve was I went into my search engine and among other things came up with
this from the Fanny Farmer Cookbook.  BYW Cindy is hair sieve in the
glossery?   Olwen

Grape Marmalade
Pick over, wash, drain, and remove stems from grapes. Separate pulp from
skins. Put pulp in preserving kettle. Heat to boiling-point, and cook slowly
until seeds separate from pulp; then rub through a hair sieve. Return to
kettle with skins, add an equal measure of sugar, and cook slowly thirty
minutes, occasionally stirring to prevent burning. Put in a stone jar or
tumblers.
