Can I use a Juiceman juicer to get juice for jelly-makiing

I have a nice raspberry harvest going on and several friends & relatives would be thrilled to get some jam--but asked if I would make it seedless.

The first batch I made I ran berries through my Villaware mill and that was not effective, even using the berry screen. A lot of seeds got through and most of the pulp just seemed to get hung up inside the thing and I had to just scrape it all out.

So then I heated the pulp with a little water and hung it in a cheesecloth bag. (I always have hated making jelly as opposed to jam since I hate throwing out that pulp!) I was not concerned with or even interested in having a clear product, I wanted jam, so by virtue od a LOT of squeezing of the bag, I did get out as much usable pulp as possible.

It made very nice jam, and now I want to make more.

I remembered that I had gotten my Mom's old Juiceman juicer some years back, so wonder if that would do the trick of getting the seeds out but yielding a good juice for jelly.

Anyone ever try that? I went to their website but it was of no help.

Grateful for any input/suggestions!
