Everyone remembers how they helped their grandmother or mother remove seeds from berries. This long and tedious procedure plays an important role, since the bone contains poisonous substance, an excess of which can cause health problems.
The harmful product begins to be released from the seed after a year of preservation. Thus, if the seeds are not removed, the compote or jam should not be stored for a long time.

The technology is simple: the berry is pinched with the thumb, index and middle fingers. After that with your fingernail thumb you should pry off the bone. It is necessary to push out the seed at the point where the stalk attaches. This requires some skill; after a few attempts, the bones will quickly fly out.
In addition, when peeling cherries manually, you can use the following method. You need to slightly tear the berry at the base, and get close to the seed with your finger, removing it.
Removing seeds manually has the disadvantage that it is difficult to wash your hands. The burgundy berry bloom is absorbed deep into the skin. To get rid of traces of cherries, you can use baking soda, a brush and laundry soap.
Many housewives use a safety pin or hairpin to clean berries. To do this, insert the cherry into the loop of the pin from the side where the stalk is attached, pick up the seed and separate it from the soft part. If you don’t have a hairpin on hand, you can use a regular paper clip and follow the same principle.
You can also use matches. To do this, you need to stick two matches into the cherry, squeeze tightly on both sides of the pit and pull it out, picking it up.
There is a technology that uses a cocktail straw. The berry should be punched from the center so that the seed appears on the opposite side of the tube. This method requires some skill.

It is easy to remove the pits by pressing the cherry with your thumb and forefinger. At the same time, you should not pinch the place where the stalk attaches, because the seed should jump out from there. The downside of the process is that splashes may fly away, so it is recommended to wear an apron and cover the table with oilcloth.
In addition, the seeds are removed using wooden sticks or knitting needles. To do this, you need to press on the berry where the stalk joins, and the seed will pop out from the opposite side. In this case, a large loss of juice also occurs.
Each housewife determines a method that is convenient for her and adapts, since canning requires quite a lot of cherries. Some options will help you quickly peel ripe or small fruits, others will allow you to remove the pits from medium-sized cherries.
Devices for removing cherry pits
For high-quality cleaning of berries, you can purchase a special machine for removing pits from cherries. The device is designed to make the monotonous process easier. This device capable of handling a large volume of berries in a short time. Similar mechanical device will be a great helper when you need to peel a lot of cherries.
The principle of operation of the machine is that cherries are placed in large batches, peeled, and the finished berries go down a chute, ending up in a substitute container. And the bones are collected inside the device.
TO positive characteristics include the fact that the hands remain clean, the loss of juice is completely insignificant, a large volume of cherries is peeled in short term. The downside is that the berries often need to be transferred manually by opening the machine. In addition, the cherry is pierced through. Some silicone elements of the device jump off from time to time, stopping operation. Sometimes processed berries may remain unpeeled.
An equally well-known device is the seed remover. The berry is placed in the groove, after which the lever should be lowered and the seed is pushed out. This process is much faster than manual. Negative indicators: each cherry must be placed with special precision in the separator; hands get dirty when working, and juice is lost.

Why do you remove pits from cherries?
The pit is removed from the cherry various reasons. Firstly, in order to fully enjoy a delicious pie or cherry jam. Just imagine how inconvenient and unesthetic it would be if we began to take out the bones while eating (spitting them out or removing them with our hands).
Secondly, the drupe of the berry contains very harmful hydrocyanic acid, which is poisonous. Toxic substances can cause food poisoning if ingested in sufficient quantities.
Third, compote or jam made from peeled cherries is stored longer. How longer term storage, the more toxins will be released from the drupe. Sealing with a stone can be stored for no more than a year, without it - two to three years.
On a note
If your baby accidentally swallows a couple of cherry pits, you don’t have to worry about poisoning. Amygdalin, contained in the nucleolus, is not transformed into hydrocyanic acid so quickly; for this it is necessary certain time, so the bones will leave the intestines naturally earlier. In addition, only a large number of seeds can cause a poisoning reaction.
Methods for pitting cherries
To achieve the goal, all means are good, both improvised and special devices, machines, offered various manufacturers. Let's list the most popular ones.
Most housewives will probably agree with us that pitting cherries is a quite a painstaking and unpleasant process. However, using various simple devices and mechanical devices, it is possible to minimize both temporary losses and associated difficulties.
A missed pit during processing can result in a broken tooth for the eater of delicious cherry delicacies.
The choice is yours which device is better to give preference to.
Craftsmen have learned to make their own mechanical devices for removing pits from cherries. They work on the principle of a ballpoint pen with a spring. To make the device, you need to take a rigid metal (or plastic) tube with a diameter of 22 mm and a length of approximately 7 cm. It is desirable that the metal does not oxidize, so try to find an aluminum tube or of stainless steel. The tube should have a hole for placing the berries, 10 mm in diameter, as well as a pusher (for example, a nail) with a good spring that can push well and rise to the top position. When you press the pusher spring, the bone is removed and the spring returns to its original position.
The devices listed above can also be used for cleaning cherries.

Here is another fun DIY mechanism for extracting seeds. Look, everyone can do this.
Delete cherry pits Simple items available to every housewife will help. It is important that this item has some kind of loop at the end. For example, pins or hairpins can easily cope with this task. To do this, you need to insert its end into the berry in the place where the stalk was located, pick up the seed and remove it from the berry. As a rule, after just a few minutes of training the process becomes clear, and the berries are cleaned quickly and easily. You can just as well use steel wire, folded into a loop at the end. The disadvantage of manually removing seeds is that the berries lose quite a lot of juice, and it is difficult to wash your hands after such an activity.
Craftsmen also use a straw for cocktails, punching the berries in the middle so that the seed pops out. reverse side. However, this process requires skill. Before you learn how to do this carefully and quickly, you will have to ruin more than one berry.
To remove seeds, you can use a peeler with a potato eye peeler on the end. In this case, the berry most often loses its integrity, but is quite suitable for making jams and as a pie filling.
An interesting home invention is to remove the pit using eyebrow tweezers shaped like small scissors. At their end there are tweezers with thick edges. You need to insert it into the berry, grab the seed and pull it out, twisting it slightly to minimize loss of juice.
Automated pit removal
There are devices on sale for removing pits from berries and fruits. Among them you can find specialized devices both for small berries, such as cherries, and for larger fruits - plums, apricots, etc. The design of the devices is similar in operation. The essence of the process is that the berry, placed on the cell allocated for it, is punched with a knitting needle various kinds tips. At the same time, some manufacturers have provided containers for automatic feeding berries and receivers for peeled berries, so juice loss in in this case is minimal, and the process goes quickly and very carefully.

They can also be used in everyday life, if the area allows, because such a design takes up quite a lot of space.
There are many ways to pit cherries. I like the one I'm in best preschool childhood I saw and tried it at my grandmother’s in Globino (Ukraine), when my mother brought us four children to visit our grandmother.
With this method, the cherry is less injured and loses less juice and pulp. The work turns out to be much cleaner and more accurate than if you simply squeeze out the bone with your hands or knock it right through with a special device.
Unfortunately, I can’t film the process in my hands, since both hands are busy. I'll try to explain with photos and descriptions.
Take three containers and place them in a row, placing them from left to right:
1. container with whole cherries,
2. container for peeled cherries,
3. container for seeds.
We take a pin in our right hand and a cherry in our left. Turn the cherry so that the hole in it, in which the stem of the berry was, faces the right side, towards the hand with the pin.
Squeeze the cherry with the fingers of your left hand, but not too tightly (so that it does not crush), but at the same time not weakly, so as to help right hand remove the pit.
Insert a pin into the hole below the cherry, then, moving your hand towards you, pick up the pit with a round curl of the pin and pull it out of the hole, pulling it to the right.
Place the peeled cherries in the middle container and shake the pit off the pin into the right container...
Quick to do, but long to write. While I was writing, I could peel a dozen cherries. Once your hands get the hang of it, it will go very quickly, without thinking.
Continue removing pits from cherries, admiring your work and imagining what a delicious pie you will bake, or make excellent jam.
