First we tried a potato peeler to get the pits out.
Although it worked, we later bought a "Stoner" for the job. Now I can pit that bowl in just a few minutes!

Once pitted we freeze the cherries in two pound (2-cups) zip tight plastic bags (Ah, the wonders of petroleum). When we want a pie or cobbler, two bags work fine. Sometimes, when we have a surplus (or the freezer is full), we sell them at apple harvest time from the garage.
