How to pit cherries quickly and easily
Although pitting cherries to prepare this gazpacho can be a somewhat laborious task, we can simplify it a little if we have a cherry pitter. For very little money you will have a pitter that will help you in this task saving you a lot of time.
This utensil is nothing more than a small lever with a sharp tip that, when pressed, pushes the bone of the cherry when we press it, so that it is removed. But, if you do not have one of these, we can always use a straw to do the same effect.
We will prick the cherry with the straw, by the base of the cherry (the side opposite to the one with the stalk and the leaves. With a sharp blow, we reach the stone and continue pressing to remove it. And you will see that, when you make a few, you will go much faster.
