Pit Cherries without a Pitter

Pit Cherries without a PitterI got a great deal on cherries and wanted to freeze some for winter months. I discovered how to pit them without a pitter!

Wash them, pull off their stem and either hold them (wear gloves or you'll have discolored hands and nails!) OR place them on top of a small mouthed bottle (stem direction pointing UP) and plunge the thicker end of a chop stick down the middle. The pit should pop right into the bottle, leaving you withe a pitted cherry!

Bonus Tip: I ended up with a few bottles with juicy cherry pits in them and decided to add some maple syrup to infuse the sweet cherry flavor into the maple syrup for my waffles or even to drizzle onto my yogurt! I will use this quickly but will refrigerate the syrup.

Never thought of adding syrup to the juice. I even sent it on to a couple friends with cherry trees. Thanks!

Although I am sure the readers are clever enough to know this but I MEANT to add the disclaimer to make sure you sift out the pits when pouring your infused juice onto waffles or on yogurt!

I simply placed my spoon at a angle at the mouth of the bottle to prevent any pits from coming out. ;-)
