Summer time - it's time to prepare supplies for the winter. Stock up on cherries for future use and you can enjoy compote, dumplings, pies and many other cherry delicacies on cold winter days.
You can store cherries for future use in various ways: make compote, cook fragrant jam, make five-minute jam, jelly, jam, marmalade. If you want to enjoy fresh berries in winter, simply freeze them in the freezer. After defrosting, the berry can be used for making fruit drinks, dumplings, used as a filling for pies and creating other equally tasty dishes, in which a piece of summer will be present. Cherries are also very tasty in their own juice. But for most cherry preparations, it is necessary to first separate the seeds from the berries.
At first glance, this rather difficult task can be completed in several ways. The first is to use a special device that knocks the seeds out of the berry with one touch, while maintaining its integrity. Just before that, do not forget to sort out the berries, free them from cuttings and rinse with running water.
In addition, special machines for removing pits from cherries are now on sale. They work like juicers, are firmly attached to the table surface and allow you to remain with clean, unstained cherry juice, hands and clothes during the entire process.
However, despite the scientific and technological progress, the most common method of extracting cherry pits from most housewives remains the one in which they use an ordinary hairpin. To do this, take the previously prepared and washed berry in your left hand, and in your right hand, clamp the hairpin. Connect both ends of the hairpin and stick them into the berry from the side of the handle. Then pry the bone and carefully remove it.
You can also experiment with the other side of the stud. Pick up the bob with a hairpin and remove it from the berry.
In the absence of a hairpin, you can use an ordinary safety pin or wire twisted like a hairpin or pin.
