For years I had avoided Rainier cherries because I thought they were like the tart cherries we had on a tree growing up. Then one day in the grocery store they were giving away free samples and boy was I surprised. They are so sweet and juicy. I was sold on Rainier cherries. Now the problem is that they have a short shelf life and are rather expensive so I only purchase them maybe once or twice a summer. I was in luck this week because Publix had them buy one get one free. So rush out before Wednesday and pick up some to try.
They have such a pretty color to them.
I have been looking for a cherry pitter for a couple of weeks. Not that I eat or cook with a lot of cherries but I don't like dealing with the pits. I found this one last night at Bridgestreet. Just in time to try out my cherries today. Just what I need another gadget for my kitchen drawers.
Line the center of the cherry up with the stem in the middle and pull the trigger. I think this is going to be a pit as you go deal because I have a feeling they will turn dark.
Nice clean hole.
There is the clean pit.
On another note. I was able to get a picture of the groundhog that has been living in our backyard or in the neighboring area. I posted pictures yesterday on Facebook and there was some suggestions of him becoming a dish for Dinner with the Grobmyers. I am fresh out of groundhog recipes but I will be glad to take suggestions if you have them.
I have named him Huntsville Hal. I think he saw his shadow yesterday.
