Hi Judy ...

First off, buy a cherry/olive pitter at your local kitchen gadget store.

Pit them and place (in a single layer), on a cookie sheet. Put into the
freezer for about 45 min to 1 hour, or until they are individually frozen.=

Next, put into Zip Lock Freezer-type bags. (Yes, suck the air out of the
bags before sealing them; helps prevent freezer burn.) That way, you can
use them any time and be able to measure out whatever you need for any
recipe.

My family sure loves being able to have "fresh" Cherry Crunch or Cherry
Cobbler in the wintertime!

By the way, I do the same with fresh peaches!

Here's a few of our favorite cherry recipes ... from my personal files.
Most of them are my own creation, unless otherwise listed.
