I wish I had of known about the chopstick method before I invested 17.00 in a cherry pitter! The jam turned out amazing I must say. <br />TracyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4236430084801008700.post-8459236577262116372012-07-16T14:25:25.228-07:002012-07-16T14:25:25.228-07:00What a great tip.

I always warn people to eat carefully. I notice there is a similar warning on frozen pies I have purchased! I still have a few cherries in the freezer from last year, but had none this year. What few were on the tree, the birds beat us to! :( <br />DeniseBDenise Bryanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14553432871345452930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4236430084801008700.post-46830356958148671382012-07-15T18:13:28.021-07:002012-07-15T18:13:28.021-07:00Love your tip for pitting cherries!

And, the jam is just so yummy, so when I saw them at this price, I had to grab up a bunch. I still have another 4 pints to make into another batch later today.
