Ingredients

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.
7

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).
8

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.
