Cherries are a tasty and healthy product. Unfortunately, cherries have seeds, they are large and inedible. It's not very pleasant to feel the pits in your mouth when you eat your fruit salad or enjoy your homemade cherry pie. The three main methods for pitting cherries are cutting, pulling, and extruding.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: Cutting the bone

1. 1 Gather the necessary supplies. You will need:
   • Cherry
   • Knife
   • Cutting board
2. 2 Wash and examine the cherries. If you notice dents, cracks, or signs of mold, discard this berry and use another. If you come across a good cherry, then go ahead.
   • Wash the cherries with water a few degrees above room temperature to avoid damaging the fruit.
3. 3 Find the "label". Each cherry has a small dimple-like line. It is called a "label". Place the cherries with the label facing up on a cutting board.
4. 4 Place the knife carefully on the mark and push down. Stop when you hit a bone.
5. 5 Roll the cherries along the edge of the knife. At the end, you should come to where you started by making an incision along the mark and along the other side of the fruit. Gently twist the two halves of the fruit until the stone falls out.
6. 6 Discard the seed and stem.

Method 2 of 3: Pulling out the bone

1. 1 Find a paper clip of the correct size. You need a paperclip no wider than the size of a cherry pit. Wash paperclip before use.
2. 2 Wash and examine the cherries. If you notice dents, cracks, or signs of mold, discard this berry and use another. If you come across a good cherry, then go ahead.
   • Wash the cherries with water a few degrees above room temperature to avoid damaging the fruit.
3. 3 Push the end of a paper clip into the cherry fruit from the side of the stalk. Try to stay as close to the center of the fruit as possible, do not injure or pull too much pulp out of the cherry. Stop pushing the paperclip when it is along the bone.
4. 4 Twirl a paperclip around the bone. Try to keep the paperclip as close to the bone as possible so as not to pull the extra pulp out of the fruit.
5. 5 Pull on the stem to remove the bone. If the stalk comes off, pull the bone out by hooking it with a paper clip. Repeat the operation with the remaining cherries.

Method 3 of 3: Extruding the bone

1. 1 Find a straw of the right size. You want a straw that is stiff enough, but not too large. If it is too big, you will make a hole too big in the cherry, which is undesirable.
2. 2 Wash and examine the cherries. If you notice dents, cracks, or signs of mold, discard this berry and use another. If you come across a good cherry, then go ahead.
   • Wash the cherries with water a few degrees above room temperature to avoid damaging the fruit.
3. 3 Take the cherry with your thumb, forefinger, and middle finger, do not squeeze it. The top of the fruit (near the stalk) and the bottom should be free.
4. 4 Place a straw on the stem; the straw should touch the cherry. Continue to push through the straw. The stone should fall out, it would be good with minimal loss of cherry pulp.
5. 5 Discard the seed and stem. Repeat the process with as many cherries as you need.

Tips

• If you are using a knife, remember that it must be sharp, then you will get the desired result. A dull knife remembers the berries.
• Wash the cherries before removing seeds from them, these are basic rules for hygienic processing of products.

Warnings

• Use a cutting board to avoid ruining the surface of your table.
