How Do You Pit Cherries For Cherry Pie?
To pit cherries for a cherry pie, begin by placing the cherries on a cutting board and holding them firmly with one hand. Take a cherry pitter and insert the pointed end into the top of the cherry, then press down firmly to push the pit out of the bottom. Repeat this process for each cherry, being careful not to damage the fruit. Alternatively, you can use a sharp knife to slice around the pit and remove it manually. Once all the cherries are pitted, they are ready to be used in a cherry pie recipe.
