Easiest way to Pit a Cherry

CherryFest_2014_SharableImage_2

Cherries are in full season right now, especially those coming in from Washington State. ย To really get your money’s worth this year, buy them on sale, pit them and freeze them. ย Whole Foods Market has a one day sale coming up this Friday, July 11th – Organic Cherries only $2.99 a pound. ย This is a deal not to be missed.

How To Pit a Cherry:

Pitting a cherry is actually pretty easy. ย I found this great infographic on the Whole Foods Market blog and this method was the winner for sure:

Get yourself a glass bottle, put the cherry on top, stick a chopstick (or similar shaped object) into cherry to pit it. ย  Buy a bunch so you can bag them and freeze them. ย You can use them later down the road for smoothies or any other dessert or recipe you want.

My favorite way to eat a cherry is just right out of the bag (by the pound!) ย But I also love to cook them with Green Beans, Almonds and a little Coconut Oil. ย Saute it all in a pan and you’re good to go. ย Just be sure to make enough for leftovers!
