Do you have a food processor? Try smaller batches. And give it a rest every so often.

I have a type of food mill that I use for proccesing tomatoes and such for canning. There is a large hopper on top and it looks like a meat grinder. Where the product comes out there are several cone shaped screens that allow for certain puree thicknesses. In the center of the cone the seeds and skins are ejected. It works great and I can do so much fruit very quickly. It also works very well as a juicer. For grinding harder fruits like pears and such I just par boil them a bit.

The grinder is made by Presto and can be seen on their internet site. When I bought it about 8 years ago it cost about $50.00 and is very well built.
