First, you need a paperclip. A big, sturdy, unbent one.
Straighten it out completely. Then, bend one end into a tiny U-shape. Voilà: you’ve just made a professional-grade pitter for zero dollars.
Now, grab a cherry. Don’t overthink this. Just poke the U-shaped end into the stem hole.
Twist it slightly. You’ll feel the pit start to pop. Scrape it out like you’re scooping a tiny, angry eyeball from a socket.
Seriously, it works. It’s a little messy, yes, but it’s insanely fast once you get the rhythm down. You’ll feel like a cherry-pitting ninja.
