About

Cherries are usually pitted with a convenient tool, which pokes a hole right through the cherry, extracting the pit. A neater result may be obtained with the tip of a vegetable peeler, so that less juice will leak from cherries cooked in a pie.

Remove the stem from the cherry and put it in the cherry pitting tool, with the indentation left by the stem pointing upward.
Squeeze the handles of the tool together to extract the pit. (Olives may be pitted in the same way using the same tool.)
