Cherries
The birds left me some cherries this year, so I harvested them this afternoon and pitted them this evening - a long tedious job. Joy of Cooking recommends using a hairpin for pitting cherries, but I haven't seen those since beehive hairdos went out of fashion. The cherries are sitting in sugar overnight, the first step in making cherry preserves. The recipe called for a pound of sugar for each pound of sour cherries. I just guessed, so I wonder how my first attempt at cherry preserves will turn out.
