Hmm. While it seems like fun -this could be a dangerous idea!! Definitely avoid anything metal – use wood or glass as previous poster suggests. Avoid plastics or metal when working with liquids and/or doughs!

I'd stick to a wood or glass bowl, so that the juice does not pick up any sort of metallic taste. A potato masher would be perfect! We don't have one, so I just used my hands. My sister joked that I should have mushed them up I Love Lucy style!

In the first step, before it gets poured into the air-tight container, does it matter what sort of bowl I use? Metal, plastic, glass…?

And by mashed fruit, does that mean just take a potato masher to the fruit, or should I put it in a blender, or something?
