Stoning Cherries

Got 600g of cherries to stone, any secrets/tools to make it less of a ball ache?

One of these things?

Pretty sure I can link there for his type of thing...

As above, get a cherry stoner tool. Will make your life so much easier.

Doh, I'll get one of them next time.

You want a Leifheit Preserving Cherrymat Cherry Pitter Machine from the same place.
My folks have a similar machine for stoning the cherries off their cherry tree every year.

Pea0n was spot on, get yourself one of them and your life will be much, much easier (even if it's only for minutes

).

Yeah I'll look into it, spent 25minutes yesterday stoning them. Recipe turned out ok though.

What did you make? Cherrys are just pure awesome.

Cherry Vanilla Clafoutis out of the BBC Good Food books.

Had to google that, but that does indeed look good.

Aye, dead simple as well to make, other than stoning all the cherries by hand.
