What is how to pit cherries?

Here's how to pit cherries:

There are several methods for removing the pit from a cherry. Here are a few options:

• Cherry Pitter: A dedicated cherry pitter is the easiest and fastest way to pit cherries, especially if you have a lot of cherries to process. These devices typically have a plunger that pushes the pit out of the cherry.

• Pitting with a Straw or Chopstick: Place the cherry on top of a bottle opening or similar small hole. Push a straw or chopstick through the center of the cherry to force the pit out.

• Pitting with a Paperclip: Unbend a paperclip so that one end has a hook. Insert the hooked end into the stem end of the cherry, hook the pit, and pull it out.

• Knife Method: Using a small knife, carefully cut around the cherry lengthwise. Twist the two halves to separate them, and then remove the pit.

No matter which method you choose, be prepared for some cherry juice splatter. Wearing an apron and working over a protected surface is recommended.
