Fresh cherry are so tasty.
I still remember the first year we tried homesteading because there was a large 30-foot cherry tree. That summer was the first time we harvested and enjoyed fresh cherries, and we preserved them whole.
The leftover canning cherry flavored juice was divine and we enjoyed it warm with a splash of rum. I still remember having no idea how to hand pit cherries. Healthy Nibbles shows you how to pit without a cherry pitter.
