How to Pit Cherries
You don't need a cherry pitter to remove cherry pits, here's a simple way to pit cherries with a tool you already have at home.
Equipment
- 1 Reusable Straw
- Cherries
Instructions
- Start by washing the cherries well. Once they’re pitted, you won’t be able to do that.
- Start by removing the stem, if any. Grab a sturdy straw: glass, metal, or hard plastic works best. Hold the cherry firmly with one hand, stem side up.
- Place the straw where the stem was and gently push straight through the center. The pit should pop out the other side. You might need to wiggle the straw slightly, but it should slide through with a little pressure.
