A workhorse....
I bought this food processor last Fall to process fruit for jam making. I pick my fruit in the summer and freeze it to make jam in the Fall to take advantage of the cooler weather. Jam making can be a hot job especially in Texas! In previous years I chopped my fruits by hand but this year my husband and I went overboard and picked pounds and pounds of strawberries blackberries blueberries and peaches. Then a friend gave me figs! There was no way I wanted to process all of that by hand so I started shopping for a food processor. I found several good reviews of the Hamilton Beach 70670 and it was a great price so after a little more comparison shopping decided to take the plunge.
When I got ready to process fruit this processor performed like a champ. The only issue I had was making sure I gauged the pulse correctly as a few of my batches of fruit ended up almost pureed which was not what I was aiming for! It plowed through hours of processing for 3 days of a long weekend then several 2 day weekens. And cleanup was so easy.
This is not my first food processor but the Hamilton Beach compares very favorably with others I have used. I really love it and look forward to my next jam making season. I use it other times for smaller jobs but the big workout for this baby is in the Fall.More detail ...
