A group foray into the cherry tree sounds like another good excuse for a party. The advantage to the Montmorency cherry is that if you pick it at the right moment, the pit slips off as you pick. Convenient.
Paperclip?

Love those sour cherries. So do the robins, tanagers, and Steller’s jays at the peak of ripeness, which is why a pitting party is a good way to work through a large haul in a single day, with the promise of pie looming at the end of the pitting tunnel. BTW, do you use a paperclip?

My mouth is watering looking at the cherries oozing out of your pie. Sweet and sour maraschino Montmerencies sound delicious. All the better if they’re self-pitting and don’t need help from a lemon.
