My daughter went Cherry Picking with her friend, and came home with 5kg Cherries. What should we do with 5kg Cherries? We love Cherries, but we can’t eat them all while they are fresh. The weather is too hot to bake anything at the moment, so she decided to freeze them after pitted. It’s a hard work. I made Cherry Jam. Still a lot more to go.

- Wash Cherries, cut in half around the pip, twist them, and remove pips. This is the easiest and quickest way to remove pips.
