    I live in northern Missouri and the 1st year my cherry tree produced. I know nothing about preparing. I feel awful as I don't have enough time to save all that are on the tree . Now to find the 6 pitted and save all I can. Thank you for a good view of a way to get the most out of my favorite pie CHERRY. Fresh im excited. Wish me luck im a guy who likes to do whatever I can to get the job done.

    I appreciate your honesty and demonstration of both. I would prefer the smaller pitter as I do not pit more than twice a year and am messy enough on my own. I do not need a murder scene! Good luck everyone!

    My husband and I have been eating so many cherries lately. I just bought a dehydrator and I really want to dehydrate some of them. I would prefer the Leifheit Pitter. I think I could get a lot more done and in a quicker time. Thank you for giving these gifts out to your readers. That is very sweet.

    Laugh all you want... I use a straw and push the pit out. I’ve gotten pretty fast.
    My straw doesn’t care how big or small the cherry is, not much mess. It’s quite relaxing to do a quart or 2 at a time.
    Thanks for the review!♥️😎🍒
    And yes I have done 8 quarts so far for jam and cobbler!

    I would use the Progressive as I have thus far not done as much with preserving them because of the time consuming task of removing the pits.

    I would pick the progressive after watching that. Funny thing is I was just looking at cherry pitters 2 days ago. I had made a 1 pound batch of fermented cherries after reading your 25 ways to preserve cherries. I'd have done the honey jam but I had just used all my honey to ferment garlic last week. After seeing this though. I think I will opt to not buy any and I'll just use a stainless steel straw and find something similar to a soda bottle. My cherries were massive I don't know if either of those pitters would have worked. I quartered my cherries to ferment them.

I did use like the big one and kept pinching the palm of my hand in slapping it down and got some bruises and a blood blister. I would love to get either one of the pitters. But the smaller one may be better for me. But I would not complain if I won the bigger. Thank you for your awesome information . Keep drying and canning.

    I love cherry season! I've been using a single pitter for years, but the progressive looks like it would be faster. Thanks for sharing.

    I have never pitted cherries before. Would like to have the progressive. Enjoy your videos!

    I have hand-pitted my whole life and would love to have a pitter! I think that I would do better with the Progressive pitter. Thanks for the video!

    I wish I had the Leifheit! I like to get the 18-20 pound boxes and dry them for the winter.
