Pitting cherries w/o pitter: I just use my thumb poking it in at the top of the cherry where the stem is. Funny story about cherry pitter: my mom bought herself a cherry pitter and was just having a dandy time pitting cherries thinking "Wow! This is really slick!" Made a pie and we all started eating and. . .whoa look at these pits in the pie! Moral: check to see that the pitter is actually removing ALL the pits!
