Removing stones from Damsons

sooz

I saw a suggestion, on here I'm sure, to count your fruit into the pot. Write the number down, then count the stones out once it's cooked.

the stones will float to the top so you can fish them out with a slotted spoon once the fruit is cooked .

Can you tell me what kind of cherry & olive stoner you used as there are several different types on the 'net and vary in price!

Well, I am not adsk, but I stone my damsons - and cherries, and olives, and anything else that might need stoning - with this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000YJ9BPC/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1


I've had it for about five years, and it's still working well.

I slit the damsons and pop them in the microwave for a minute and then 'squidge' the stones out.

Nice,n,Easy! The pointy end extrudes first, making the stoning of greener fruit possible (still shoots a plug of flesh along with the pit.) Riper fruit, no problem. Still need a better pitter (not plastic) though.

Just leave the stones in, and warn everyone that there are stones in the chutney

I did this with small plums, no one choked, they just have to take care & not shovel it it down
