Cooking Instructions
- 1
Whether it's peaches, plums, or apricots, you can cleanly remove the pits. ※If the fruit is unripe or over-ripe, it may be hard to do.
- 2
For apricots, first press the knife deeply into the grain of the fruit, pressing it up against the pit, spinning the fruit slowly to cut around the fruit.
- 3
Break the fruit open into two halves at the grain (like you would an avocado).
- 4
Flip the side with the pit intact upside down and press the knife into the center. Repeat the process from Step 2.
- 5
Break apart the two halves like in Step 3.
- 6
Pinch the pit and gently remove from the fruit. You should end up with 1 half and 2 fourths like in the picture.

This is the top view. Peaches and plums may be a little harder to do. If you can't easily get the pits out, use the knife to assist).

For peaches, peel them after you take the pits out. If it's a ripe peach, you can peel it with your hands like a banana ♪

You can also use this method for American cherries! The cherry pits are small, so they're a little harder to take out and might pop.

When I was little, we used to have a small tool to peel chestnuts. If only we had that still, it would be so handy... but then I was inspired to use a butter knife.A small petty or paring knife is easier to use than a large chef's knife. Once you get used to peeling chestnuts, you can do it all with the paring knife, but a butter knife is handy for the task too. I recommend using them especially if working with small children.

How To Pit Sweet Cherries How To Pit Sweet Cherries
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 -
