Do you know what Rachel? If there was nothing else in this video other than the cherry pitter demonstration I would have been happy. What an amazing little tool! So if I’m so easily satisfied by a simple tool, you can only imagine how the entire video made me feel. You are so amazing and such an inspiration. Thanks again for sharing (I know I say that a lot lol). :)

That gizmo is clever!!

Oh my, 10 seconds into the video and I’m like, I neeeeed that cherry pit thing-a-mah-jig.

Literally just walked in the house from picking cherries and saw you posted this. Perfect timing! Thank you!

The reason it's not recommended anymore is because regular cornstarch breaks down over time and with high heat, and the density changes which can lead to safety issues. Clear Jel is a modified version of cornstarch and it doesn't break down in heat or time like regular cornstarch does.

I totally use cornstarch in my apple pie filling! You got this! Great job! Love the cherry pitter! Wow! God bless you!

That cherry pitter is brilliant! So are the both of you 🤗 thanks for sharing.

Literally just doing a blind search for a great cherry pie filling recipe ..of course it brought me back to your channel! Thanks again♥️

The pitter is totally awesome!!! Recipe looks pretty good also!!

That looked amazing! Thank you again for sharing your canning kitchen😁

Love you're videos Rachel, relaxing comforting

Wow was that ever nifty I never seen a cherry pitter like that it must be an antique,makes it so much faster !!!

Wow! That is a cool cherry pitter! The dump cake made my mouth water!

I love tart cherries! We called them pie cherries when I was a kid. We had sweet cherry trees and pie cherry trees! Pie cherry pie was and is my favorite! Yummy!

I’ve never seen a Cherry pit extractor! Cool.

Definitely very rewarding when it's made from home! Looks Delicious!! 😋

I love this, I made cherry pie filling with sweet cherries last night, this just tastes so much better than store bought, Rachel, thank you for the suggestion on a new desert that I can make with this!! I just love watching you!!

I can tell you, those jars of pie filling are a labor of love! I’m up to my eyeballs in tart cherries as well. I’ve canned some juice, frozen 4 quarts of pie filling and made 3 cherry desserts. I want to can some pie filling as well. It’s been over 100F here for a week and a half! It’s hard to get them picked, pitted and canned fast enough. I do the pitting with a paper clip, which takes longer, but leaves the cherries more intact. I use Ultra Gel for canning and cornstarch for freezing. Thanks for sharing! Your canned pie fillings look beautiful!

This is yummy! Made the filling just since noon. Jars are so pretty! I used pint jars and think 10 cups of cherries rather than 8 would have filled 5 pint jars entirely. I had a half jar extra using 8 cups of fruit. Thanks for this great recipe. Can't wait to make the cake mix.

Hey Rachel , My heart beats faster when I see those wonder cherries you have grown, Oh my, oh my. My total favorite pie is sour cherry pie. Thank you for the show....

Absolutely love your channel!!

How wonderful having your own cherries!

We love dump cake around here. It was always the thing Grandma made for our birthdays.

Love that antique pitter! Also I'm drooling 🤤🤤🤤

Love your recipes!

My 2 favorite flavors in one dessert!!!! My mouth is watering! AND I just watched your video on the shredded zucchini, so I will FOR CERTAIN be making that canned zucchini very soon. I have always resisted the idea of a cherry tree, thinking it would be too much effort to harvest then pit cherries. But after seeing your tool, I'm all for having a cherry tree some day! :)

Great video Rachel, thanks for sharing! Cherry dump cake is my favorite :)

Hi Rachel. This is a great recipe and the Cannon of the cherries is wonderful. It keeps the cherries from getting rotten. Gid Blessed you Rachel. May God Bless you always. Stay safe. Give Todd a hug. XOXO💁🖐️💁🖐️💁🖐️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤💝💝💝💝💝💝💜💜💜💜💙💙💙💙💙💙🌧🌧🌧🌧🌧🌧🌧🌧🌧🌧🌧🌧🌧🌧💕💕💕💕💕

Looks yummy!! Great video.

Thank you for sharing this wonderful video. My family is crazy about cherry pies.

Thank you for this easy to follow tutorial. My cherry pie filling turned out perfect!!! (I used Clear Jel because it’s what I had on hand)

Everything looks wonderful!’ 🥰

Never seen a cherry pitter like that ... matter of fact I've never seen a pitter before ... awesome gadget ... I'm going to try canning this year and this will be one that I use ... remember to stay safe and stay blessed

The cherry pitter was cool. I'm thinking the dessert would work great with any fruit, it looked very delicious. Thank you for bringing us along.

So glad I seen this, clear jel is so hard to get.Thank you.

Thanks for sharing I found this and as always you are amazing!

Cherry pie is my favorite! I’ll have to try this!

Hi Rachel! I was wondering how long have you kept this pie filling on your shelf with the cornstarch, did you notice any difference then when using clearjel? Clearjel is super expensive here so I rather use cornstarch 😊Thanks so much😊😊

Very cool little cherry pitter

Cómo me inspiras Rachel tus videos son de gran enseñanza me encanta verlos aprendo mucho y ago mucho delo que veo en tus videos eres lo máximo y se que vives en Michigan al igual que yo y me gustaría conocer tu hermosa huerta!!!

That cherry pitter is awesome!

Thank you!!! I'm over in Sweden and, clear gel and other "approved" thickeners for canning, I have to search for on Amazon and, like any other caning "utility" item from over here, costs me an arm, leg and my firstborn... I'm originally from both the US and Canada and I've been caning both water bath and pressure caning for many years but, moving back here to Sweden a few years ago, where I raised my kids and where they're still living, I've had a helluva time finding caning supplies, not just in this country but also throughout the EU. I have since I got back here, been caning my apples for pies, leaving out the thickening agent and when making the pies, I'd pour out the liquid from the canned apples and thicken it. It works but, it's not quite the same. I have a TON of apples to process out on my back porch and went in search of if one can use regular corn starch... YES, I do understand that it is not a approved method but, I've always been a true rebel caner, as with most everything else in my life... I do however follow what I feel are the most important "rules" of the FDA canning "rules" (no flour, caning times, altitud etc.) but, I do can several food items that are NOT recommended or "allowed", as do many others I know. Do your own research and make your own decision on whether or not to do something or other is the motto I live by. So today, I will be caning in my first water bath apple slices in quart jars, half of them with the cornstarch and half just the plain "broth" and see what they look like when cooled down and also a few months down the road! 👍🙏☺

Yum . That looks so good .

I just pitted 4 bags of cherries by hand with a straw! I definitely need that tool!

Looks yummy, Rachel.

I have a cherry pitter that does 6 at a time! I love the old fashion look of yours.

What a neat cherry pitter!

I’m making your cherry cream cheese pie tonight for the 4th, looks delicious Rachel 😋

I want to make cherry preserves to put on the shelf. I seriously need that chery pitter! I haven't made or canned any fruit so idk if these instructions will translate for preserves instead of pie filling. I will have to search your videos to see if you have one. I also would like to do the least sugar & pectin bc we eat low carb. Rachel, you rock, I'm glad you do things the way that works & have been done for so many years without worring about the "canning police"!

That looks so delicious, all of it! I use cornstarch in my apple pie filling. I need to plant a cherry tree!

Looks so yummy!

Beautiful!!

Looks so good. Do you keep a record journal of what you can? I have for 40 +years. It is fun to look back over the years to see what and how much I canned.

OMGosh I love the pitter!!!!

First, love that cherry pitter, wow! I never knew they had these. I do the cornstarch too Rachel, never had a problem. That looked very easy and came out very nice. Glad there was no siphoning on ya. Dessert looks amazing and supper sounds amazing, Enjoy!

looks very yummy I just sold a cherry pitter like that and another vintage cherry pitter that was different at my stepdad's thrift store they are very cool

Cool pitter. Mine has a spring on the pitter part. It's only a single, but it does have a angle lip that the cherry rolls off.

Always enjoy your videos.

Thank you for the link to the yellow cake mix. Think that would be great for the old jars of grandma's that can't be canned with anymore.

I looked up the corn starch, it is just because it could break down in the jar, or because it thickens what you are canning. As far as thickening, if it is something you would can that is thickened, like pie filling, I wouldn't worry about it. Either way I wouldn't worry about it. Looks beautiful and so yummy. Be so blessed. 😊

I cut my butter into the homemade cake mix and then spread the mixture on top. I find it works out better and much easier

Oh my goodness....that cherry liter is wicked cool.

Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for your help..

Thank you!

I’m making this dessert tonight. This will be the first time using my home canned pineapple zucchini. I don’t usually put pineapple in it so I’m looking forward to it!

Oh yum! I just bought #20 of pie cherries, I’m making this and jam!

Hi Rachel 👋 happy holiday weekend.

Yes love that cherry pitter! ❤️ Kristy

I picked up a pitter from stark bros this year. Game changer. Before I could only do 4 at a time. Their pitter goes so fast and is way less tedious

Looks just like mine😉 love your videos. Your cherry pitter is better than mine🥺😂. I absolutely love canning! Thank you for sharing❤

Have used corn starch for all my pie filling for over 50 years!

I love your cherry pitter!

Gosh Rachel, I’m drooling 🤤

Looks delicious

I have used both cornstarch and clear gel, and found thing's I canned with cornstarch developed some kind of glob and made it questionable for use (IMO). But I think if used in less than a yr it may not happen. Where my filling made with clear gel still looks perfect 3 yrs later.

That looked yummy! A twist on that dessert would be to use a chocolate cake mix 😍

I jumped when i saw your canner lid start to slide off 🤣😩 that was close lol! My great gram always made the cherry pineapple dump cake.. love it!

Love love LOVE that Spice rack! 🥰

Thanks for sharing. Happy Independence Day!🧨💥

Thank you so much for this video 😊

Now I wish I had a couple cherry trees, too. Lol. Looks good.

Love that pitter

Thanks for the idea on how to use my pineapple zucchini! My mothers cherries should be ripe for picking soon.

You cook like I do I love it where is your job I am impressed

Oh yummy

Love that cherry pitter……I use to make cherry liquor….good for colds….cough…cough….

YUMMEEEEE! Blessings, julie

Happy Fourth of July Hope you have a wonderful day 🇺🇸

Love the cherry pitter. I’ve never seen one. Also, following your basic recipe for the cherries, could I substitute peaches or other fruit and make other types pie filling too?

Amazing 💕

Looks awesome ,I need to make the mock zucchini

my momma always used corn starch in her cherry pie filling

love the video God bless happy fourth of July

Some rules are meant to be broken💕

Awesome Im going to visit my daughter and 3 grandkids and their cherries are ready, so....... lol thanks

I like that cherry distractor

I made it and my son it is better made this way than with just the cherries! Now I know next year when I plant zucchini I will definitely can more pineapple zucchini!

Try adding rhubarb to stretch your cherries. Cherry rhubarb pie filling is so good!

Morello cherries are the ones to grow if you like cherry pies. It has a great flavour and slight tartness.
