Summer Doesn't Have to be the PITS!

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. 
Gloves optional

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.


I am no expert, just a Mom who is passionate about learning more about the relationship between food and good health.
