Multi Cherry Pitter
Cherries are the jewels of the summer. Every year, I count down the days to getting fresh cherries. I use OXO multi cherry pitter to pit the cherries because there is something special about eating the cherries without spitting the pit. I remove the pits one big batch at a time, then I date and freeze them so I have cherries to enjoy year round! The OXO multi cherry pitter I use and love👇
This multi cherry pitter is very easy to use and easy to clean. After removing the stems, place 6 cherries in the slots, press firmly and the seeds fall to a tray below. Voila! You have 6 pitless cherries immediately! The tray will catch the pits up to 1 lb of cherry at a time. The sturdy construction can withstand the busiest of cherry season! More importantly, it is BPA free and dishwasher safe! For cherry lovers, you simply must have this!
After removing the cherry pits, I weigh and divide the pitted cherries into 1 lb bags. I label the freezer bags with the name of the item (pitted cherries), the date (month and year), and the weight. That way, I know exactly how many bags I need to pull if I am using them later.
Lay the bagged cherries flat on a surface, gently press out any air before sealing. Freeze the bags flat so you get individual frozen cherries rather than a messy clump. And there you go, you have cherries to enjoy year round! Use them in desserts or smoothies. Or have the frozen cherries as they are, like little cherry-sickles!
