Summer is almost here and that means those beautiful cherries hit our supermarket shelves! Our family devours cherries during the summer, so I needed an easy way to pit our mounds of cherries.
I am obsessed with the cherry pitter!
It's one of those gadgets you see in the store
and think I would never use that.
Oh yes, you would, and it makes summer life a little easier.
Cherries juice can stain and splatter everywhere when pitting. For easy clean up pit your cherries in a plastic bag, so pits and juice stay in one place.

Hurry cherries are only in season from June - August. Make sure you remove steams and wash cherries before pitting. I try to buy organic cherries when available, but they can be quite costly, so if buying conventional make sure to soak in fruit wash before eating.
You can purchase a cherry pitter at most grocery and kitchen stores.
