I found another use for my mixer blade and shaft. Here is a video of making chokecherry syrup. I use the blade to pulverize the cooked berries. I run the blade with the dull edge leading and it does not crack the seeds. It just crushes the berry skins and releases all the good color and vitamins in the berries. It made a fast way to process large quantities of berries. I don't know if you have chokecherries in your area but this is just fantastic on vanilla ice cream I throw a hand full of corn flakes in with the bowl and it gives it a crunch like eating the cone.
