    The straw method is the BEST. The cherry stem is where the pit is attached to the fruit. Once you have broken that bond the pit comes right out. Insert a straw into the cherry at the stem dimple. Cap the end of the straw with your thumb if the fruit is firm. Push the straw through the fruit and the pit will pop out the bottom neatly leaving the cherry whole with no waste. There is no spray mess like with the pitter either. After using the pitter, I realized all I needed was a straw.

    Get a chop stix or a small dowl rod and then a bottle with a small mouth like a pop bottle or water bottle. Set the cherry on the top of the bottle with the stem side up. Stem removed of course. Then you just push your stick straight down through the cherry and the pit falls into the bottle. Works like a charm.

    Oh, my gosh ! Thank all of you for this demonstration ! When I visited my sister a while back she had some great Bing cherries which I love. At snack time we sat down at the dinner table with the cherries and I proceed to pop a cherry in my mouth and spit the seed in a bowl, Lord you would have thought I killed a baby, my sister got all over me for doing that, saying it was basically disgusting, and doing that was rude and other people wouldn't appreciate seeing that, which it was only myself and my sister present. So next time I talk with her I'll give her the lowdown. She never told me how I should have eaten the cherries, I wanted to see her cut one with a knife, but I just let it pass. Thank you all for your demonstrations and all of them were great and creative.

    Getting the biggest chef knife I've got. Then placing 10 cherries in 1 line. Placing the knife on top of them to squash them and pressing slowly until you're stopped by the pits. Then pushing the pit out for each cherry. They still look pretty good and it's relatively fast.

    i just did this last night for the first time. Nine pounds took about an hour with no mess. Take a pair of small sewing scissors 2 inches or less, insert bottom or top grasp the seed with the blades give it a quarter twist and a clean seed pulls right out! Very clean method that leaves the fruit intact. If you need halves it is simple to cut. This will also work for olives.
