   Need to start harvesting these or the birdies are gonna get them [ where are they ? ]

   Don't have a cherry de - stoner  --  does anyone have a DIY method where I don't have to cut the cherry in half ?

    Thanks,

bite, spit, eat  ;D
sorry, flossy couldn't resist , can't think of another way  :)

  Oh manics,  ---    they are soooooo   sour,   only for sauce, syrup or jam,

   ... did warn him but No 1 son picked and eat ---   then said ''  wheres the compost bin !!! ''

    Thank you for your interest , -  gotta think of another way !

     Where we live , finding a cherry de- stoner, would mean trawling half of Hertfordshire,

     -- via the elite suburbs,  who's got the time, gotta water !!

I steamed my cherries, let them cool down and then squished each stone out by hand.
It was a bit messy, but I am using them for pie filling.

Mine are stella cherries.

  Thanks dtw,  squishing sounds fun !

   ---   might give that a go !
