Don’t have a cherry pitter? You’ll want to save this post for when our cherries come around. Here are 4 other ways you can pit a cherry.

🍒 Use a chopstick - remove the stem, stick a chopstick through the center of the cherry and push the pit out

🍒 Use a metal straw - similar to the chopstick method, but with a metal straw instead
