Instructions
0 Wash the cherries. Pat them dry or let them air dry on the countertop for a few hours. 1 Remove the stems, and then pit the cherries. Use a tool (like a cherry pitter) or a knife. If using a knife, find the crease in the cherry skin and follow it with the blade of your knife. Open the cherry open and pop the pit out with your thumb. 2 Line a rimmed baking sheet with wax paper. This will prevent the cherries from sticking. You may also use parchment. 3 Place the halved cherries on the baking sheet. Give them a little space so they don’t freeze together. 4 Transfer the sheet pan to the freezer, and freeze for 4-6 hours, or until frozen solid. 5 Transfer the cherries to a freezer-safe storage bag (or container). Freeze for up to 6 months.View original recipe
