We have a prolific cherry plum tree, beloved by the squirrels, that produces more than enough for everyone. Last year I laboriously pitted and froze a few containers and we enjoyed them later in the season (plum rhubarb crisps!).
This year, it occurred to me that if I had an easier way to remove the pits, I might pick and preserve more of the fruit. It seems silly to get a tool for just one use, though, so I was wondering if anyone has used and can recommend a specific cherry pitter, or an easy way to remove the pits. I looked on line and the gadgets are not that cheap, about $15 - $30 and up. Do they work? Are they worth it? |
