I'm not exactly up to my eye balls in cherries but have about an 1/8 bu.
Just one trick is that I rinse and freeze them on a cookie sheet and then loosen them and put them frozen in a freezer baggies (about a cup more than a pie or what ever recipe).
The advantage is that you can put up an enourmous amount of cherries, and they pit better when they're frozen (they don't squish). Then you only have to deal with the amount you will use at once.
Join me as I discuss creating my own Potager, cooking from the garden, and learning to preserve the bounty. This is my journey towards greater self-sufficiency.
