Fruit and berry blanks are an excellent source of vitamins in winter, and for this they are loved by many housewives. But making tasty stocks is not so easy, this process is very laborious and long. One of the main problems is how to remove the bone without damaging the fetus itself.
Instructions
Step 1
Pitting apples is not a big problem. The easiest way is to use a special knife for removing the core, but if it is not at hand, do not worry, manually removing it is also not so difficult. Cut the apple into four parts and cut the core out of each with a regular knife.
Step 2
For pears, the solution is almost the same. The first method is to cut with a knife to remove the core; the second is to cut the pear in half and take out all the excess from each half of the teaspoon. Or you can do the same as with apples: cut into four parts and cut the core with a knife.
Step 3
Peaches and apricots do not pose any particular problems either. Cut the fruit along the "seam" and take out the bone: in most cases it will come off without much effort. Try not to put pressure on the peach or apricot, as they are very soft and easily deformed.
Step 4
With plums, the story is a little different. There are varieties in which the bones are poorly separated. In this case, you can put the plum in the refrigerator and leave it there for a couple of days. It will not lose its taste, but the bone will be easily separated from the pulp.
Step 5
Certainly, the most problematic fruits are cherries and cherries, because they are very delicate and small, they are easy to damage or crush. Here, each hostess has her own secrets and recipes for dealing with the problem. Someone uses a fork (to pierce the fruit almost through, "hook" the bone and pull the fork together with the bone towards you), someone uses a straw (we pierce the fruit, press the straw on the bone and it comes out). However, there is an easier solution: a special device for removing pits from cherries has been created, which greatly facilitates this difficult process.
