Tart Cherries

Last weekend I picked up 12 pints of fresh tart cherries from Nichols Farm & Orchard. It took about 2 hours to pit them with a metal chopstick while I watched movies. Most are now frozen and ready for smoothies. My only regret is not buying more.

Washed and ready for processing.
I held each cherry over a plastic pitcher to collect the pits.
Ready to freeze.
They taste even better than they look.

All the cowls

Charging into December with only half my gifts crafted, I had to find a simple pattern to make life in Santa’s sweatshop less terrifying. I was rescued by Kristina Olsen‘s Harvard Square cowl.
