TN cliche is unknown berry

A lurker wrote and told me about this completely insane black currant product.

I flash back to miserable childhood cherry pitting experiences, using a paring knife, before word of cherry pitters had reached Virginia.
 
Thus the advertising of CurrantC, a blackcurrant juice, which advertises 'domestic' blackcuurant juice, among about 6 or so different sources.
Proud to wave the Red White and Blue evenm if there is only 10% USA content.

And funny how Quebec never seemed to ban them, despite a shared border with New York. At least, they were available in farmers markets there years before they were here.
 
Yes, AoE did mention the Bar-Le-Duc jam in one of its issues.

Re the NYT article... Van Leeuwen does make good ice cream. I like their pistachio a lot.

In this household the official cherry pitter (not me) swears by the end of a paper clip. Paper clips seem to be widely available in DC these days, but only relatively recently across the river.

A recent purchase for our household was a Cherry Chomper, but if you're not concerned about 4 year olds having a safe and reliable way to pit cherries, it may not be the device for you.

How does that work? Scooping out the pit from the top? Piercing through the bottom?

I've never worried about pitting cherries. I either eat them straight or slice them into pieces. But, always worth finding out new ways to use the delightful fruit.
 
Who would have thought that they make something like this? Not me for sure. But since they make them, I have to ask, is it improper to eat them straight and spit the pit in your palm and put it in whatever?

But it is a timely thread as I was thinking how to pit the cherries for my 11-month old, as he seems to be interested only in whole ones rather than slices.
 
According to the pitter in chief you hold the cherry with the stem side up, stick the end of the paper clip into the stem hole and then you pop the seed out.

Note that this is a technique for pitting a large number of cherries to use them en masse (i.e., in a dessert) and not necessary for those eating cherries one at a time.

I see. Makes sense. Thanks.
