I wanted to make some preserves with some American (sweet) cherries I bought cheaply, but I don't have a cherry pitter...That's when this method came to mind. You can remove the pits much more cleanly than you can imagine! I was surprised myself! I recommend this when you are giving cherries to small children too, to be safe.

Inspect the cut the end of the tip carefully and see if there are any ragged parts. If they are, cut them smoothly. If bits of plastic get into the cherries it can be dangerous. Be careful not to cut yourself with the cut off end of the tip. When you get used to pitting the cherries, you'll be able to remove the pits easily without letting any juice out. Recipe by vegeful

Steps

1

We'll use this plastic icing bag tip.
2

Be sure to cut off the tip all the way round. If you make a diagonal cut into the tip first it will be easiler.
3

Insert the tip into the stem end of a cherry.
4

Twist to the left and right to insert it. The pit will come floating up.
5

When the pit has come up about 80% of the way, twist the icing tip out.
6

The pit will roll out neatly. The cherry won't fall apart, and there's barely any waste.
7

I could pit 400 g of cherries in about 5 minutes.
8

I made confitures (preserves) with sweet American cherries pitted with this method.
