How to pit cherries?

To pit cherries, start by selecting ripe cherries that are firm and juicy. Next, wash the cherries thoroughly to remove any dirt or residue.

To remove the pits, you can use a cherry pitter, which is a handy tool specifically designed for this purpose. Simply place the cherry in the pitter and press down gently to extract the pit.

How to pit cherries with a knife?

If you don't have a cherry pitter, you can also use a small paring knife to carefully cut around the stem and twist it off, then gently push out the pit using your fingers or a toothpick.

What are the best cherries for baking?

Two popular choices for baking are sweet cherries and sour cherries. Sweet cherries, such as Bing or Rainier, offer a juicy and rich flavor that pairs well with a variety of baked goods.

On the other hand, sour cherries, like Montmorency or Morello, have a tartness that adds a delightful tang to pies and pastries.

Both types can be used fresh or frozen depending on availability and preference. Ultimately, selecting the best cherries for baking depends on your desired taste profile and the specific recipe you're working with.
