How To Pit Sweet Cherries

1. 1

   We'll use this plastic icing bag tip.

2. 2

   Be sure to cut off the tip all the way round.

3. 3

   If you make a diagonal cut into the tip first it will be easiler.

4. 4

   Insert the tip into the stem end of a cherry.

5. 5

   Twist to the left and right to insert it.

6. 6

   The pit will come floating up.

7. 7

   When the pit has come up about 80% of the way, twist the icing tip out.

8. 8

   The pit will roll out neatly.

9. 9

   The cherry won't fall apart, and there's barely any waste.
