the washing of the pits

the next step, after pitting the cherries and conserving or using the fruit in all kinds of fashions last week has led us to the second big action!
we are washing the pits, it's not an easy undertaking and i have no experience in it. we use common sense, work hard, persevere and work hard once more.
there is some fun involved of course, there must be doing this with the kids out behind the house in a couple of buckets and tubs.
though it is a challenge as it is not just 2lbs, i have not weighed the mound of pits but it must be more like 20lbs (wet as they are).

there will be more to tell, i like this post though, it's an old post but still very enjoyable and it does hit home with me.
