In Anticipation of Cherry Festival

Cherry Festival will be kicking off in just over a week.  Inspired by an entry at Food52, we tried our own do-it-yourself cherry pitter to much delight.  Of course emptying our cherry pit depository (Short’s Nicie Spicie) also resulted in its own sort of delight.

Items required:

• local cherries
• empty bottle
• small straight stick
• hungry bellies

Instructions:

1. Place the cherry atop the empty bottle.
2. While holding the cherry, push the stick through the center allowing the pit to fall into the bottle.
3. Pop pit-free cherry into mouth.
4. Enjoy.
5. Repeat.
