I can only suggest some gloves surgical and use hands to get the pits out. Sorry no other way I know good luck.

Katy, how did your pie turn out. I would do as you were doing. I know when I cut a cherry in half one have is good and the other has the pit stuck to it. My solution would be to eat the halves with the pits attached. Saves your hands from turning red. LOL Happy Cherries to you.

I've read tips to use a hairpin - you know the old-fashioned U-type - and pull the stone out, or a piece of macaroni (pushes the stone out).

Still curious as to what a Bing cherry is and how it is different to a plain cherry. Hope the pie tasted good

The only difference I know is it's a particular type of cherry. It's a dark burgundy color & very sweet. Yummy eating!
Thanks
gOOD ANSWER ,I don' t know. maybe they are also called Queen Anne cherries.

I like Denice's suggestion! Eat the half with the pit! I had Bings for lunch today! Love those things! Did you make the pie?

I have used both a hair pin (these were U-shaped, not quite like bobby pins) and a pitter. The pitter is by far the quickest method. Good luck.

Don't know how I missed your cherry pie dilema, but before getting a cherry pitter I used gloves, a knife and made a big mess. THEN found out that my m-i-l had a crank style pitter that she left with her house when she moved in with us. Drat! Made one pie and left the pits in (now wasn't that fun?)
Good luck to you.

Good luck to you.

I personally would probably eat the cherry, spit out the seeds and forget the pie. :) stork

I leave them on the counter until they spoil, then make an apple pie instead. No, not kidding.

I'm sorry i did not get back with all on my pie. It was wonderful , but my sweetie will not get another one any time soon, I love your ideas and help. Vanilla ice cream helped!!

next time, try the end of a potato peeler....my mom always pitted her cherries that she froze with this.

My grandma used a little funnel. Put it upside down small end to the top and mash the cherry down and the pit goes down the funnel tunnel. It does work, I did it to make cheery jam last year. Wear gloves tho because your fingers will be stained from all the cherry juice.

I knew I should have worn gloves!!!!

Sorry I missed this. I would have cooked the cherries then squished them through a strainer, pushing the cherry pulp through with the back of a spoon and leaving the pips behind. Also means it takes less time to cook the pie 'cause the filling is already cooked.

My mother used to have a colander type metal funnel shaped that had a wooden rounded end type rolling pin that she used to make applesauce in. Something like that might have worked.

ttt Thanks for all the comments and suggestions on my cherry pie. I was delicious but very time consuming. I wish I could have shared with you.
