Quickly Pit Cherries With A Straw

Preparing cherries for a cherry pie without a cherry pitter takes a lot of time. Skip the tool that most of us probably use once or twice in a season and take an empty bottle and a straw. Place a cherry on the bottle's mouth and push the straw where the stem attaches to the cherry. Keep pushing until the cherry pit pops out and falls right into the bottle.

Although a straw alone can do the job, a bottle prevents juice splash and stains. If there is no straw in the home, a chopstick can also work.
