cherry pitter

Stone fruit tool

A cherry pitter is a kitchen tool designed to remove the pit from a cherry while leaving the fruit mostly intact.

Most have a plunger mechanism that pushes the stone out through the bottom: I processed three pounds of cherries with the pitter.

Also called a cherry stoner.
