Food Lion - What to do with all the cherries?

[caednkat]

Cory, where is this great recipe??? I love looking atn recipes, baking a new recipe and eating a recipe. Tell the Mrs, to come on a post it please

Sad thing is that it really isn't a recipe... I just throw it together. Next time I make it I will try and jot down what I do. I need to do that with all of my "recipes". One day I'm sure my kids will want to know how to make this stuff. lol

My grandmother used to make some awesome stuff that I remember fondly from childhood. Only there are no recipes for them, and she hasn't cooked in a few years and doesn't remember how she made them.

Pitting the cherries with a chopstick is a whole lot quicker than cutting them in half and digging out the pit. Though I have managed to give myself a cherry pittin blister.

We just got finished pitting about 9lbs. Mandi used the chop stick, I just pulled them apart and the pit fell out. We've got an 8qt container filled to the top.

Aww Sweetie.. you forgot to add that I pitted 8lbs of the cherries while you just devised ways for the juice to hit me in the face.

Thankfully it didn't stain.

Nice to finally meet the beautiful wife.

This is not surprising!

Glad it didn't stain, for both your sakes.

I was complaining to the manager at food lion today that they didn't carry the cherry pitters ( I would have bought it with my 360 coupon) and she said someone else used a straw...I am going to try that today since I have probably another 6lbs to pit before I freeze them.

Also I made the cherry crisp it was really good BUT, I think next time I will cut the cherries in half. I also used all butter instead of half butter half shortening...That was really good. I am going to make another today to give to a neighbor while I am making the jam.

That only leaves 1lb for me, and I did at least 2lbs...

Yep, I thought you have chicken pox there for a minute...
