When pitting cherries THE BEST WAY is to use a cherry pitter. If you don't have a specially designed cherry pitter, you can use the loop of a partially straightened paper clip or a hairpin, but it's harder to work with and the results are not so great.
Used with the Chocolate Covered Cherry Daifuku (Mochi) Recipe.
I like to use a clean large paper clip to pit
cherries. You simply poke the end of the paper clip into the stem end
of the cherry and grab the pit with the loop and pull the pit out.
