We use the Swiss Cherry pitter. We even brought it on our trip because we brought about 3 pounds total of cherries. I still prefer to pit them within my mouth. I don’t use the pit tools.

I will remember to pass on your homemade cherry desserts, then.

Just remember Miss Manners says remove the pit from your mouth with your fingers. Don’t spit them onto the plate (or across the room).
I quite understand this since spitting often ricochet before the dog gets them. However removing them with your fingers is equally messy if you eat a 1/2 lb or more as they tend to stick to your fingers |

I use the stem for cherry eating.

About $3.75/pound in Sweden. Seem to often be imports from Turkey.

Rainier cherries were $5 per pound on July 3 at the Aspen, Colorado farmers market. Prices usually drop after July 4, so I'll update again next week.

I've always wondered why the Raniers cost more. I much prefer the dark red Bings. Maybe they're harder to grow, but our smallish Ranier tree was very prolific and has had no care for years.

I agree. I prefer the red, but don’t taste a huge difference.

Random fact: if you buy cherries from roadside stands in Northern Michigan (near TVC, the Cherry Capital Airport) they sell them without stems. I don't know why.
