The cherries were smallish, in part due to their being a little underripe, I think. That is so funny you never pit--I once FORGOT to pit (I think I have a blog post on it somewhere), and yes, you just eat it very carefully--tastes just as good.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11068348526232036423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5446802283239662385.post-7333621492985326012013-07-13T12:26:46.093-04:002013-07-13T12:26:46.093-04:00PS

There were four houses of us family there, but nobody else cared for them, save for the birds and the wasps drunk on windfalls, so they were all mine.<br /><br />And working full-time and keeping up my end of the gardening (three acres, including the melon and corn patches) and the freezing and canning, I took the lazy way out.<br /><br />No pitting for me---a wash and straight into the crust or the freezer. Every cobbler had a caveat: Chew Carefully. And everybody did, just scooping up those drippy spoonfuls and disposing of the pits onto plate edge or paper napkin. Not neat, but delicious, and worth the mess.<br /><br />How I miss all those fruit trees: the great orchard of peaches, especially the Elbertas and the Chinese Whites, and all the hard old canning-pears and the plums of all sizes and those marvelous, puckery cherries. <br /><br />Somehow, there must be a law that cherry pie MUST have a lattice---all those rosy juices bubbling up between the buttery strips is one of the great charms of piedom.<br /><br />Yours is perfect.<br /><br />rachelRachelDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11204947567574886675noreply@blogger.com
