  • You can buy tart cherries already pitted at the grocery for anyone who hasn't looked for them before. You can substitute flour for the tapioca and if you don't want to use almond you can put a little cinnamon in your cherry pie.

  • My daughter claims that I never met a kitchen tool I didn't love. One of them is my pitter for olives, cherries, etc. PItting fresh cherries for pies makes this little tool indespensible. Wouldn't be without it.
