5 ways to remove pits from cherries without special gadgets

If you are planning to bake a pie with pitted cherries, but there is no special gadget for removing them, then 5 life hacks will help you with which you can quickly peel cherries. Of course, it’s not as convenient as with a special machine, but it’s also not as painful as it might seem.

1. How to remove the pit from a cherry using sushi chopsticks

You probably have sushi chopsticks lying around idle. They can easily remove bone from the fruit.

Take a drink bottle or other vessel with a narrow neck. Place a cherry on top and simply squeeze the pit into the vessel with a stick.

All the bones will be neatly stored at the bottom.

2. How to remove pits from cherries using eyebrow tweezers

Cosmetic tweezers are perfect for removing the bone.

We just stick it into the softness and pull out the bone.

3. How to remove a bone using a hair clip

If you don't have tweezers, take a regular hairpin.

Insert it into the side of the fruit and lift the bone up.

Of course, the method is a little “barbaric,” but it won’t be noticeable in the pie.

4.How to remove a pit using a cotton swab

The same can be done with a cosmetic stick.

It is enough to bend it in half.

And do the same as with the hairpin.

5. Use a toothpick

Well, I think it won’t be difficult to find a toothpick in general.

And removing the bone is easy. We just insert it into the fruit and the seed comes out on the other side.

In case you didn't know: A garlic press can help.

No matter how paradoxical it may sound, many housewives have no idea why the garlic press has a small spike with a window on the other side. This is, after all, a real pit extractor from cherries.

Just put a berry (although in botany it is a fruit) and squeeze out the seed.

Large bones do not always pass through, since the hole is small, but there is nothing to worry about, you can help a little by hand.
